  3. Be here! We expect your attendance to be 97% What does this look like? We are at school for 187 days, 97% of this is 181 days 6 days absent No more than 1 day off each half term

  4. Attendance and punctuality Attendance: If your child is absent from school for any reason, you must: Parents have to notify the school by 9:00am on first day of absence and every following day(s) by using the following: Attendance text message: 07860 055 215 (preferred) Attendance email: attendance@springwestacademy.org Attendance line: 0208 831 3019 (leave a message only) Please state the student name, form registration and a brief explanation of the reason for absence.

  5. Punctuality Each day, the school begins at 9 20 a.m. and students should be in school from 9 10 a.m. at the very latest to be ready to attend their first timetabled lesson on time. Registers are taken at the start of the first lesson each day and students will receive a late mark if they are not there. Senior staff are on duty outside of reception every day and will speak with those students who are late to school. Repeated lateness to school is not acceptable.

  6. Be in uniform

  7. Be in uniform Headscarves should be plain and black, dark blue, grey or white. No large of flashy bows or other hair adornments to be worn.

  8. Be ready to learn Every teacher will begin their lesson with a DNA - Do Now Activity

  9. Getting it right first time Non-verbal corrections

  10. Getting it right You know what is right Warnings can seem like we accept poor behaviour There will be no warnings Teachers know some of you will not always get it right They will act quickly to support you back on to your learning If this does not help they will Catch-Up with you at the end of the day in the library

  11. Getting it right Students need to arrive to school fully equipped to learn.  They need to have all the necessary equipment as detailed in the Y7 Information booklet. Failure to have the necessary equipment will eventually end in a catch up – this is something we want to avoid.

  13. Mobile Phone Policy

  14. PREP. Tuesday – Thursday 9.20am – 10 am. Students must also carry a reading book at all times in their school bag as they complete 15 minutes reading at the beginning of each PREP session Key Stage 3:“…..English, Maths, Science, French, Spanish, Geography and History  should set PREP each week so that students can complete their work in PREP on a Tuesday – Thursday morning period 1.  Please do not worry if you think you have set too much.  Students know that they may need to complete work at home if there is insufficient time during the school day.  It is much better that they have too much than too little. Key Stage 3 (Year 7 and 8) students will have independent reading time during each PREP session also. You may find that some Key Stage 3 students have completed their PREP at home (this is fine) – if this is the case, they should read during their PREP session or may ask for additional work ….”
