Glenmoor and Winton Academies Attendance and punctuality

Attendance

Every day counts!

Attendance target 97% per student

If a student has 90% attendance, they miss half a day of school per week…this is 4 weeks missed per year!

0.1% will have an effect

Punctuality

Every lesson counts!

Tutor time is essentially another lesson

Students must be on time to school!
