Attendance is not optional - It is the difference between falling behind and moving ahead.
When students miss school, they do not just miss lessons - they miss learning. Even a few days off quickly add up, and the impact is real:
📉 Students with poor attendance are far more likely to drop a grade - or several at GCSE and Sixth Form.
📈 Students who attend regularly achieve higher results, stronger progress and leave with more choices for their future.
👨👩👧 Parents & Carers: Every absence matters. Strong attendance now protects your child’s long term success - their grades, their confidence and their future pathways.
🎒 Students: Your future is being built right now. Every lesson you attend moves you closer to your goals. Every lesson you miss puts obstacles in your way.
Show up. Stay focused. Protect your chances.
Excellent attendance is the expectation, not the exception.
Your grades. Your future. Your move.

A severe allergic reaction can develop quickly, so knowing what to do in an emergency is essential.
This week’s #WakeUpWednesday guide gives parents, carers and educators a clear overview of adrenaline devices, including EpiPen, Jext and nasal adrenaline.
The guide covers:
• Symptoms affecting the airway, breathing and circulation
• How different adrenaline devices are used
• Why the patient should lie down and remain still
• The importance of calling 999
• Why two devices should always be carried
It also reinforces a vital message: using adrenaline promptly is always better than waiting.
