We want all young people in our school to become:

Attendance

A student has 90% attendance.

Is that good?

90% attendance sounds good, but it means that your child misses on average:

One half day every week! 4 whole weeks per year!!

1/2 a school year over 5 years!!!

Attendance – Percentages can be misleading

100% 0 days missed Excellent

95% 9 days of absence: Satisfactory

1 week and 4 days of learning missed

90% 19 days of absence: Poor

3 weeks and 4 days of learning missed

85% 28 days of absence: Very Poor

80% 38 days of absence: Unacceptable

75% 46 days of absence: Unacceptable

9 weeks and 1 day of learning missed

Good attendance also shows future employers that a

young person is reliable, more likely to achieve well and

play a positive role in their community.

At Rainey Endowed, students who have an attendance

rate of 95% or above have been proven to outperform

those students with attendance of 90% or lower.

Research suggests that 17 missed school days per year

= a drop of one grade at GCSE!

Attendance – How parents can help

• Contact us as soon as possible to tell us why your child is absent, and when you expect them to return. Putting the school number in your phone can save you time.

• Only allow your child to be absent from school for a genuine reason.

• Always inform the school if your child is absent due to illness and follow this up with a written note when your child returns to school.

• Arrange dental and medical appointments outside school hours when possible.

Attendance – How parents can help

• Take family holidays outside school term-time. Holidays taken during school term are classed as unauthorised absences.

• Help your child to prepare for each school day by ensuring they are organized the night before e.g. uniform, PE kit, homework, class materials.

• Establish a good morning routine to ensure your child has adequate time for breakfast and travel to school.

• Take truancy seriously.If your child is not at school, who are they with? What are they doing?

Year 12 :–

Looking to the future

Your Choices Your Targets Your Future

Year 12

• Is busy

• Demands hard work

• Is competitive - not just in Rainey Endowed School, but across Northern Ireland and beyond

• Invites you to make choices

The choices you make now,

COUNT!

What are you going to do?

• Back to school for A levels?

• Leave here and go to there?

• Leave school and go to NRC?

• Leave school and get a job?

• Hide?

GCSE grades matter so much!

• The basic essentials.

• First real qualifications.

• What they say about you.

• The higher they are, the higher you can aim.

• But the lower they are…

It’s a NO

I’m afraid!

Keeping doors open

Targets…

what you do

will affect

what you achieve

WHY TARGET SET?Motivates

Helps organisation and efficiency

Allows planning of homeworks, tests, coursework and exams.

Provides a structured pathway to mocks and through to summer GCSE’s

Should help reduce exam anxiety

Helps us reach our top!!

Be SMART about your targets

• Specific

• Measurable

• Agreed

• Realistic

• Time-bound

Target Setting so far.

In all subjects and classes the teachers have had or will have a one-on-one discussion with each pupil, helping them to decide on a realistic target grade for each subject. This grade will be based on assessments that were completed last year, their Year 11 Summer examination grade and their potential within that particular subject. This grade will be agreed between teacher and pupil.

This Afternoon

You as parents or guardians have the opportunity to contribute to this process by discussing each subject grade with your son/daughter and coming to agreement with them. The grade will then be recorded in school on Monday.

• write about it and

• participate in class
