  1. GCSE Tutorial CASE and SPADD

  2. GCSE 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.

  3. 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!

  4. 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.

  5. 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!!

  6. You can also monitor your own attendance on the MyDay portal or by logging in to the student portal with your user name (college ID) and password.

  7. Knowing your targets and monitoring your progress

  8. Target Setting • You have some simple targets for making sure you progress onto Level 3 courses next year : • Achieve at least C grades in the GCSE subjects you are doing or Merits on BTEC courses. • Have excellent records of attendance, punctuality and behaviour. • How will you know if you are on track?

  9. Progress Monitoring • Progress monitoring is about you reflecting on the learning process and your progress in achieving your targets. • This may mean approaching your studies in a new way. • Coming to College is a new learning experience, one in which you must take greater responsibility for your own success.

  10. You and your learning – developing that “Growth Mindset” Jayne talked about at Induction • Attend everything - students with 100% attendance typically achieve higher grades than those who miss lessons • Be on time and ready to learn. • Do your classwork and your homework use your Supported Study Sessions and PDP slots to help. • Plan your time and your study time. • Reviewwhat you know and what you don’t. • Establish a regular routine. • Always meet deadlines. • Ask for help when you need it. • Be organised.

  11. Reviewing your progress • You will have 5 Progress Reviews with your subject tutors where you will be given a Progress Grade and 2 attitude to learning grades. • This Progress Report will be on SPADD and will be sent home. • Your personal tutors will discuss and action plan with you to ensure you meet and hopefully exceed your target.
