Attendance

Term Time

Treviglas Community College believes that attendance is a significant factor in enabling students to achieve their full potential. If students do not attend college regularly, they may not be able to keep up with college work.

Taking a holiday during term time means that students miss important college time - both educationally and for other college activities. To reduce the figures of authorised absences, holidays taken during term time will be coded as “unauthorised holiday”.

The government target for attendance is 95% and it is important that students achieve this target. Therefore as parents, ensure your child understands that you do not approve of them missing college and consider carefully the impact that a holiday in term time could have upon their education.

Treviglas recognises the importance of good attendance in developing conscientious students with the ability to achieve their potential.

We monitor students’ attendance on a daily basis, both attendance at college and at individual lessons. We use a sophisticated electronic monitoring system to ensure students are in lessons and on time.

We have dedicated staff to support students with attendance issues and in fostering a strong relationship with students, parents and the local authority.
