100% Attendance Cards
On Monday every pupil who is still on 100% attendance will be given a card during tutor group time.  Please do the following:

·         Write your name and tutor group on the card.

·         As a tutor group, decide how and where you are going to keep these.  They could be put in a box, a poly-pocket or pinned to the wall in your tutor group room.  (Senior pupils could take on responsibility for these cards.)

·         Stay on 100%

·         In October claim 5 house points for yourself and for your house if you are still on 100%. (These count towards the end of year trip and towards the house shield for your house.)

·         At Christmas put your card into a prize draw and hopefully have your card drawn out to win a prize.

·         Remove your card from the wall/box/poly-pocket the first time you are absent from school.


Attend to achieve!
