At Parkhall Integrated College, we believe that regular attendance is crucial for the success and well-being of our students. We are dedicated to creating an inclusive, caring learning environment where every student feels valued and empowered to reach their full potential.
The Department for Education states: ‘Central to raising standards in education and ensuring all students can fulfil their potential is an assumption so widely understood that it is insufficiently stated – students need to attend school regularly to benefit from their education. Missing out on lessons leaves students vulnerable to falling behind. Students with poor attendance tend to achieve less in both primary and secondary school.’
In recognition of this, we seek to consistently reward our students with full attendance through our 100% club program. Each half-term these students are recognised for their attendance achievements.
For those who have concerns over the level of attendance of their student, we have a highly experienced pastoral care team that is there to help. We believe that students flourish to reach their full potential best in an environment where all of the adults involved work in partnership to support that student. To this end, we work closely with the Education Welfare Service, providing a further layer of support and a link between home and school.
