SPECIALISM SUCCESS

Congratulations to all the primary schools

competing in The Time 2 Change Competition this

year. Y12 BTEC Business students from All

Hallows have enjoyed a fantastic time going out to

each of the schools competing and have judged the

best team to come forward to The Final

Celebration at All Hallows on 3 March 2016. As

part of their Event Organisation Unit they are

currently making final preparations for what is sure

to be a very enjoyable and exciting day. The

challenge they will face is a secret until the day and

in the meantime Y12 Business students are

organising trophies, judges, catering and much

more.

COLLEGE PRAYER

Prayer for Fairtrade Fortnight, Feb 23 - March 13 God of solidarity, You entrusted the earth and its resources to the

stewardship of humankind. Yet the goods of creation, destined for the whole human race, are

enjoyed by a privileged few. For the producers of our consumer goods there are no privileges;

just working long hours for little pay. For us, who benefit from unfair trade, we take for granted the toils of men and women who maintain our standard of living.

Inspired by Jesus who brought good news to the poor, show us how we may stand in solidarity with people who suffer through

unjust trading rules. May they soon experience the joy of the vineyard workers who were called to be the first among the last, and were included as

equal inheritors of your kingdom. We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen. Tony Singleton/CAFOD

CONSULTATION DAY

Page 2: Newsletter 12 february 2016

Students must sign out at the Attendance Office before leaving College to attend a medical appointment. When they return to College the student must sign back in. This ensures registers will be accurate and we know the student is off site should we have a fire alarm. The Attendance Office is located in an office along the RE corridor. We thank parents for making medical appointments, where possible, that do not take up a whole day of schooling. This often allows a student to have their legal registration mark for both morning and afternoon sessions and so their overall attendance does not fall.

MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS DURING THE COLLEGE DAY

Holidays have not been authorised since 1st September 2013 under legislation on all English schools. Requests for holidays must still be made in writing to the appropriate Key Stage leader (Mrs Garvey KS5, Mr Diamond/Mr Blades KS4/KS3), but in the vast majority of cases they will be unauthorised. A Fixed Penalty Notice may be issued of £60 per parent / carer per student, to be paid within 21 days, otherwise the penalty will rise to £120 per parent / carer to be paid within 28 days. If the penalty remains unpaid then the matter will proceed to the Magistrates Court where you will receive a criminal record if you are found guilty. Please can all holiday requests be made well in advance of the holiday being taken if not before the holiday is booked.

HOLIDAY ABSENCE FROM COLLEGE

Whilst the College requires parents to contact us on each day of absence, school policy now requires that any student who accumulates 7 or more days of absence during the course of the academic year will be asked to provide medical confirmation of the need to be absent before any further absences are authorised for medical reasons. This is a necessary measure as we closely monitor absence due to illness / medical reasons in order that we can ensure students are supported where needed. For your information medical confirmation does not have to be a doctor's note but can also take the form of a medical appointment card, a copy of a relevant dated prescription or evidence of medication being taken. If no medical evidence is provided then the absence will be coded as unauthorised. Ten or more unauthorised absences may result in you receiving a Fixed Penalty Notice. This incurs a penalty of £60 per parent / carer to be paid within 21 days, otherwise the penalty will rise to £120 per parent / carer to be paid within 28 days. If the penalty remains unpaid then the matter will proceed to the Magistrates Court where you will receive a criminal record if you are found guilty. The link between attendance and achievement is well researched and documented and students should be aiming for an attendance rate of no less than 97% over the year. Thank you for your continued support with this importance issue.

ATTENDANCE MATTERS

Attendance matters at All Hallows Over the last week of College attendance was as follows: Year 7 - 95.6% (up 1.9% on last week, well done Year 7) Year 8 - 93.8% (down 1.8%) Year 9 - 93.7% (up 0.8%, well done on the increase Year 9 but it is still too low!) Year 10 - 95.1% (down 1.0%) Year 11 - 92.3% (down 1.3% and too low Year 11 at this stage in the year!) Year 12 - 95.7% (up 1.7%, well done Year 12) Year 13 - 89.6% (up 0.6%, but still too low) Attendance between Year 7 and Year 11 last week was 94.1% (down 0.3% from last week and 0.6% lower than the same time last year). Our overall attendance since 2 September 2015 has fallen 0.1% to 95.5%. We aim for 97%. Last week GIRLS attendance (Years 7-11) was 93.7% (down 0.7% on last week), BOYS attendance (Year 7-11) was 94.4% (up 0.1% on last week). Since 2 September 2015 boys attendance between Years 7-11 is 95.5% and girls attendance between Years 7-11 is 95.3%.

CHANGES TO ATTENDANCE POLICY

From September 2015 the College has changed the definition of “persistent absence” we use to include those students who are under 90% attendance. This is in line with national guidelines and increases the threshold from 85% at present.

CAREERS ADVICE FOR STUDENTS

If any parent would like their son or daughter to have a careers interview with Mrs Pilling, our Careers Advisor, this year then please notify the relevant Year Learning Leader who can ensure names are added to the list. Mrs Pilling will prioritise Year 10-13, but students in Years 7-9 are welcome to attend her Thursday lunch time drop in. She uses the Student Support Office based next door to Music.

Most students appreciate the importance of being in College on time. Children who are regularly late do miss out on their education and form bad habits that will not be tolerated in the workplace. We need to inform parents that students must be in the registration form class for the register to be taken at 8.45a.m. This means students should arrive 5-10 minutes earlier in College to be on time. Any student who arrives after 8.45a.m. will receive a L code. Two L codes within a week will result in a whole college detention to be held each Thursday. Any student who arrives after 9.05a.m. will receive a U code. This means they will be classed as absent for the whole morning and this may have consequences for overall attendance. We are aware that College buses are sometimes late and we can confirm these students are not negatively marked in the register when this happens. Thank you for your co-operation in this matter. Gates are manned by members of staff and names will be taken of those students who are late.

MFA were unlucky to lose this closely fought game. MFA went 2-0 up within the first 15 minutes and were looking assured and playing some good football. The visitors pulled a goal back just before half time (2-1). In a lively 2nd half the game became an end-to-end affair with several chances for both sides. MFA gradually ran out of steam as the visitors battled back to win the 4-3 late on. A good effort from the squad and extremely unlucky not to take something from the game, leaving MFA in 3rd place after 8 games played in ECFA Northwest Men’s cat 3G division.

Educational Psychology Team Drop-in Sessions 2015/16

Parents, carers and education professionals; do you have any questions or concerns about the well-being,

behaviour, learning or development of your child or a child that you work with? (Parental consent required

for staff).

‘Drop in’ and speak to an Educational Psychologist. We will be holding free 45 minutes sessions for parents/

carers and educational professionals in Children’s Centres between October and December 2015, January and

March 2016, April and June 2016; booking is recommended.

Conversations tend to be more open and productive without the focus child present; please do not feel you

need to bring your child out of school. Pre-school children MAY be able to join a session on a one-off basis if no

alternative child care facilities are available. Please enquire with the individual centre when booking.

If you have any questions please contact The Educational Psychology Team, Macclesfield Town Hall (Floor 1)
