Our 'Tools for Learning'

Griff has lots of tools in his toolbox to help us become better learners.  

Attendance

The welsh government target for attendance is 95%. Research demonstrates that there is a strong link between the amount of absence in a school and the qualifications that a pupil achieves. If a pupil misses 17 days of school or more a year, this often leads to a drop of a GSCE grade across all subjects.
 
Of pupils who miss between 10% and 20% of school, only 35% manage to achieve five A* to C GSCEs including English and mathematics. This compares to 73% of pupils with over 95% attendance achieving five A* to Cs including English and mathematics. (DfE July 2011)
 
Every lesson in school is vitally important. If your child misses school, they will find it difficult to catch up with the learning and as a result could fall behind and not achieve their full potential.

Helping Your Child Achieve
 
·         The school doors open at 8:40, ready to begin learning at 8:50

·         Your child needs to attend school before or after a medical/dentist appointment
