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: 4 march 2016 Newsletter

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 - 96.3% (up 0.2% on last week, well done Year 7) Year 8 - 95.4% (down 0.3%) Year 9 - 94.6% (down 0.2%) Year 10 - 94.8% (down 0.9%) Year 11 - 92.9% (up 0.9%, but still low) Year 12 - 96.3% (up 0.5%, well done Year 12) Year 13 - 90.7% (down 2.8%) Attendance between Year 7 and Year 11 last week was 94.8% (no change from last week but 0.8% lower than the same time last year). Our overall attendance since 2 September 2015 has fallen 0.1% to 95.4%. We aim for 97%. Last week GIRLS attendance (Years 7-11) was 94.7% (no change on last week), BOYS attendance Year 7-11) was 94.9% (down 0.1% on last week). Since 2 September 2015 boys attendance between Years 7-11 is 95.6% 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.

Louise wrote two series of 'diary' style books: one featuring the hapless Georgia Nicholson and the other Talluah Casey, Georgia's equally eccentric cousin. Her books deal with typical teenage situations with hilarity and she was often called 'The Queen of Teen'. Both series are very readable and suitable for year 7 students upwards. http://www.louiserennison.com/#!/home-page/ Louise Rennison Official Website | The Taming of the ...www.louiserennison.comYAROOOO!

AUTHOR OF THE MONTH: MARCH - LOUISE RENNISON

The Door That Led to Where by Sally Gardner

'When the present offers no hope for the future, the answers may lie in the past. AJ Flynn has just failed all but one of his GCSEs, and his future is looking far from rosy. So when he is offered a junior position at a London law firm he hopes his life is about to change - but he could never have imagined how much. Tidying up the archive one day, AJ finds an old key, mysteriously labelled with his name and date of birth - and he becomes determined to find the door that fits the key. And so begins an amazing journey to a very real and tangible past - 1830, to be precise - where the streets of modern Clerkenwell are replaced with cobbles and carts, and the law can be twisted to suit a villain's means. Although life in 1830 is cheap, AJ and his friends quickly find that their own lives have much more value. They've gone from sad youth statistics to young men with purpose - and at the heart of everything lies a crime that only they can solve. But with enemies all around, can they

unravel the mysteries of the past, before it unravels them? A fast-paced mystery novel by one of the UK's finest writers, The Door That Led to Where will delight, surprise and mesmerise all those who read it. ' Ms Sinclair says: I really enjoyed the time travel element of this story. It was a gripping read and quite different to the usual mystery. However, I would recommend it to year 9 students upwards as there is some adult language and drugs references in the story.

Look out for a full report on our World Book Day celebrations in the next Aspire!

To support our student with this terms homework assignments, please visit the library for our selection of resources available to help with completing the tasks set! We also have plenty of books for students to read as part of their sponsored read.

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)
