 'If you are here, you learn!'

 

ATTENDANCE MATTERS! ATTENDANCE MATTERS!

 “Last year children who were BELOW 90% attendance (more than 18 days off )only had a 40% chance of working at or above their age   related expectation.”

“Last year children who were BELOW 96% attendance (more than 7 days off) only had a 60% chance of working at or above their age related expectation.”

“Those children who were ABOVE 96% attendance (less than 7 days off) had an 87% chance of working at or above age related expectation.”

So if your attendance is less than 90% you are very, very, very likely to be working BELOW.

So if your attendance is less than 96% you are likely to be working BELOW.

 

If your attendance is more than 96% you are very, very, very, very likely to be working AT or ABOVE! 

  

Low cost holidays = High cost to learning

 

HOLIDAYS HURT!!!

 REMEMBER - October Holidays 

All PD days this year are now blocked. Therefore our October half term will be for 2 weeks from 23rd October to return to school on 6th November 2023.

 

SO... DO NOT TAKE TERM-TIME HOLIDAYS!!!

 

Contact Rift House on the first day of absence  01429 275239

Make routine dental and medical appointments after school or during  the 13 week holidays

Only keep your child off school when they are genuinely ill, they can still attend with a common cold or minor illness.

Avoid lateness and booking holidays in term time.

Impact of Lateness

 

 

 Attendance is not just about pupils missing days from school, regular late marks also affect a child's attendance too!

 

5 minutes late = 3 days lost

10 minutes late = 6.5 days lost

15 minutes late = 10 days lost

20 minutes late = 13 days lost

30 minutes late = 19 days lost

 

Lost Minutes = Lost Learning
