Attendance Matters – Aug 2019 – Nov 2019 Update
Gracemount High School Attendance Target is striving for pupil to
have 90%+ attendance. Currently 65% of our pupils have above 90% attendance,
Great! We need to work together to
achieve our target of 70% to have an attendance figure of 90% and above.
Well done to all our 95%+ attendance – 43% of the school
Special mention to all those who have 100% - 13% of the school –
You are AMAZING!!
Pupils who have 100% receive a Gold Award Certificate. 95%+ a
Silver Award Certificate and 90+% Bronze Award Certificate.
Do you know what your child’s attendance is at school?
All s1-6 pupils who attended their PSE
lessons prior to the holidays have been told their attendance figure and worked
on target setting to improve this if needed
Did you know at the end of the school
year if you have …
95% attendance = Ten whole days of
school has been missed 90% attendance = Twenty whole days of school has been missed
85% attendance = 6 weeks or half a term of schooling has been missed and a possible referral to the Education Welfare Officer

concerned about your child’s attendance?

or year head.
