Transcript What does our school do well? - Sir Thomas Boughey High School

Welcome to Sir
Thomas
Boughey’s
presentation…
What does
our school
do well?
Attendance!
• At
Sir Thomas Boughey we have
a very good attendance rate.
• We make sure that everyone
knows why it is important to
have a good attendance record.
This is Joe Bloggs. He is in Year 7
and has 90% attendance.
► Is
that good?
► What
does this mean?
►Joe’s
Parents think
this is pretty good.
►Are
they right?
► 90%
attendance is the same as ½ a day
absent from school every week.
► Or the same as 4 weeks absent every
school year.
► Or…the same as ½ a year absent over 5
years!
►17
missed days a year = 1
GCSE grade drop
►Pass
– Fail?
• The
School Council
came up with our own
Child Friendly
Attendance Policy.
•
We have assemblies about attendance all
week after every half term.
The pupils with 100% attendance get a
certificate.
• All the School Council members hand these
certificates out on stage.
• There is also a competition to see which
•
tutor group has the best
attendance
and which tutor group is the most
improved.
•We have an attendance display
board which is changed every
Wednesday to show all the school’s
attendance figures.
•Our target is to get above 95
attendance
•At the moment we are at
%
95.2 %
which we need to improve on
Rewards!
•We get different rewards for attendance.
•Over the half terms we get certificates.
•If anybody gets 100% attendance for a
whole year then they are invited to the
school’s Awards Evening and they get
free tickets to a Stoke
City game!
•If anybody goes through the whole 5 years
at school without a day off then they get a
special attendance award.
