Attend to Achieve:
This is the message that we are trying to instil in our young people - the more often they are here, the more they will learn and the more successful they will be.
School attendance is
vitally important and we are trying to encourage all our pupils to be in school
as often as possible. Some are fantastic and are here every day – those
who achieved 100% attendance for last term received congratulatory messages in
December.
As you will see from
the figures displayed 3 of our year groups are currently in the amber zone
whilst 3 have dropped into the red. Our school average is in the amber
zone : 90.2% We are aiming to get all year groups up into the green
zone. These figures are accessible by many people within the city and we
want Gracemount to be seen as a school where pupils attend well and achieve at
the highest level.
You can help us to
improve attendance by sending your youngster to school as often as possible and
by asking him/her about his/her attendance. Your youngster should be able
to tell you what percentage his/her attendance was at when the figures were
released at the end of November. You should also be told what colour zone
he/she is in. We are all aiming for green.
The figures will be
released again at the end of January and we are hoping for improvements.
S1 look the most likely to go into the green zone. Hopefully, with your
help we can all GO FOR GREEN!
