Year 12 Tutorial CASE and SPADD
Year 12 Tutorial Session Aims• To understand the attendance system that
staff and students can use.• To clarify where to find key information to
help check your attendance and progress.
Why is attendance important?• Evidence shows that poor attendance has a massive
impact on your overall achievement – this will be covered in your assembly this week.
• Employers and universities ask us to comment on your attendance (and statistics do not lie!)
• We want you to achieve your potential and good attendance is an important part of that!
• Your personal tutor will monitor your overall attendance each week on a lesson by lesson basis.
• Subject tutors will refer you if they have concerns re. attendance.
• College supervisors will move you on to lessons, if you are seen in college.
• A letter will automatically be sent home, if your attendance drops.
• Tutors may contact home if they are concerned about your attendance.
If you are absent:• Telephone the college on each day of illness on 0161 287
8002. You will need your T number to do this.• Or ask a parent/sibling to phone for you.
If you are ill in college:• Sign out with a college supervisor at the desk in the careers
area.Any absences authorised or not may have an effect on your
progress.Always see subject tutors and catch up work missed!!
Please check SPADD regularly!
