Achievement Points

​

Awarded to students for demonstrating good and effective learning behaviour in lessons and around school.

​

Behaviour Points

​

These are sanctions put in place for when behaviour or learning is inappropriate or a student fails to meet expected standards.

​

Attendance Expectations

​

At HCCS we consider attendance of utmost importance and are currently working in partnership with Cheshire East Local Authority. All students have a minimum attendance target of 98%. It is a legal requirement for a child to be present in school. You may be prosecuted if you do not give your child an education. You will normally get warnings and offers of help from the local council first.

​

98 – 100% Attendance     No of weeks of lost learning     Excellent! Keep it up!

95 – 97% Attendance     1-10 days of lost learning     Good. Can you reach 98%+ ?

90 – 94% Attendance     Between 2 and 4 weeks of lost learning     Becoming a cause for concern

85% Attendance     Almost 6 weeks of lost learning – 150 missed lessons     Poor attendance

80% Attendance     7 weeks and 3 days of learning missed – 200 lessons     Totally unacceptable. This is a serious concern.

75% Attendance     9 weeks and 1 day of learning missed – 250 missed lessons     This is a safeguarding concern - neglect
