Research has shown that regular attendance and good punctuality are crucial factors in students achieving their full potential in education. At Central Academy we wish to work in partnership with parents and carers and so are seeking your full support in ensuring that your child attends the Academy every day and on time. We are always pleased to work together with parents/carers in resolving any difficulties, but we are also committed to improving attendance levels at the Academy.
The target attendance figure for all students is a minimum of 97% attendance. Based on current attendance figures your child will be placed in one of the following groups below:
Group 1: No Concern
Green Group
Group 2: Concern
Yellow Group
Group 3: Risk of Underachievement
Amber Group
Group 4: Severe Risk of Underachievement
Pink Group
Group 5: Extreme Risk of Underachievement
Red Group
Central Academy are monitoring students closely whose attendance is falling and will contact you if your child’s attendance does not improve. As a parent/carer you are committing an offence if you fail to ensure that your child attends the Academy regularly and punctually, even if they are missing school without your knowledge. It is important that parents/carers monitor single day absences, as these days soon add up to weeks.
At Central Academy we reward students who attend the Academy each day and whose attendance is improving. Students are also rewarded for good punctuality. Academy rewards include termly prize draws for 100% attendance, Perfect Awards, tutor group attendance rewards.
If you are concerned about this new ‘Focus on Attendance’, there are important steps that you can take:
Thank you for working in partnership with us to achieve the highest possible levels of attendance and punctuality at Central Academy.
