Principal's Letter to Parents/Carers
Posted - 05 October 2015
I am pleased to report that there were many success stories:
[list type="check"]- Well done to Ellen Oakley who obtained 9 A*/A grades at GCSE;
- In all, 110 A*/A grades were awarded to our students.
I take great satisfaction in noting:
[list type="check"]- All Saints achieved 41% 5A*-C grades including English and Maths. This figure is above the floor standard set by the Government, the figure is also the joint 2nd highest in Knowsley High Schools;
- 62% of Year 11 students gained A*-C in GCSE Maths. This was the highest figure for all Knowsley High Schools.
Attendance
Attendance continues to remain a high priority for the school. From September 2015, the Government introduced some changes regarding school attendance, and in particular to the way in which persistent absenteeism is measured. A pupil who is absent for more than 10% of their schooling, for any reason, will be considered to be a persistent absentee. It is vital that your son/daughter maintains the highest level of attendance. As previously reported to parents, there is a clear link between regular attendance at school and performing to target in examinations. Those pupils who have attendance of less than 90%, on average, lose several GCSE grades. Consequently, regular attendance at school is extremely significant.Building Work
I am particularly pleased to report that building works in the Science and DT areas have been completed. 3 new science labs and additional teaching space will benefit learning.Website/Twitter
The school website (www.allsaintschs.org.uk) is regularly updated with a large selection of information for parents, including sporting fixtures/results, letters, visitors to the school etc. In addition, the school is continuing to expand the use of its Twitter account (@aschs_bec) to provide information and updates on school news and events. Finally, I would like to draw parents attention to a vacancy for a “Parent Governor”. Information is available on the school website. Thank you for your continued support. Yours faithfully Mr A McGuinness PrincipalOpen Evening - 23/09/2015
