School Attendance Matters
'Good attendance is an absolute priority!'
We find attendance is crucial for our pupils to achieve their full potential. This is why we have put in place an Award Scheme to encourage our pupils to have 100% attendance.
​
Mr Thompson's leaving gift to the school is this fantastic "Form Class with the Best Attendance" trophy with his catchphrases "Miss School, Miss Out" and "Every Lesson Counts".
​
Mr Hoines with his form class were awarded the trophy for 2024-2025 school year. Can they hold onto it next year?
​
​
Rewards for 100% attendance include:
​
-
Prizes given for 100% attendance. Winners are selected randomly.
The effects that poor attendance has on a learner:
-
habits of poor attendance in school are often repeated in working life.
-
become isolated from friends.
-
underachieve in examinations.
90% attendance = a GCSE grade drop in each subject.
