Organisation – avoid those detentions
• Personalised to do list• Stay organised• Consistently meet deadlines
Attendance
• Good attendance is directly linked to good achievement.
• Government data shows that only 35% of pupils with poor attendance (less than 85%) achieve 5 GCSEs, including English and Maths, at grade C or above.
• However, for pupils whose attendance is 95% or more this figure rises to 73%.
Punctuality
• 15 mins detention
• 30 mins detention
• Head / SLT hour detention
• Inclusion
• If your daughter is ‘only’ five minutes late every morning:
• 5 x 190 days = 950 minutes per school year
• 950 minutes per school year = nearly 16 hours of schooling
• 16 hours of schooling = 16 hours of valuable lesson time = more than 3 whole days!!
