Presence

(Attendance)

Information for parents/carers

Presence is crucial for students to get the most from their placement at Education 1st. Emotional well-being and academic success are undoubtedly linked to excellent attendance. In simple terms if a student is present every day, they have the best chance of success. Therefore we ask all parents/carers to do everything possible to ensure their child attends Education 1st punctually and in full accordance with their agreed timetable.

Early intervention and support are at the heart of our approach where there are attendance concerns. We always welcome the chance to communicate with parents and carers so we can work together to ensure improved attendance.

Progress

We assess and track progress in English and Maths and give all our students specific feedback as to how they can improve. We work closely with the home school/PRU to ensure data is transferred at the referral point, assessment points and at exit. We also assess our students reading, spelling, numeracy and special needs behaviour profile on entry so we have a clear starting point from which to measure. 

Our aim is to ensure that every young person referred to Education 1st receives the necessary level of nurturing and support to be able to develop their ability to progress in the following areas:

• Managing Myself
• Resilience
• Communication
• Relationships
• My Emotions
• My Safety and Well Being

We offer a supportive environment to enable young people to re-engage with a classroom setting through bespoke and small group lessons, focusing on project based learning that provides an achievable platform to show progress.
