Foreword Dear Parent/Guardian, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you and your child to Year 10; I cannot believe we have reached this stage in their academic journey, where have the last three years gone? I can hardly believe that they have completed a whole year a Key stage 4! The next two years are very important to ensure your child achieves their true academic potential. As you are aware the teaching at our school is outstanding, we set high standards for our students and encourage them to surpass expectations. The exceptional Pastoral teams, both teaching and non- teaching staff are truly dedicated to support your child through the challenges in Key stage 4. Communication is the key, working in partnership to achieve our common goal, that of helping your child to unlock and achieve their true potential. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any concerns or worries. Our school motto is ‘Facta non Verba’ which means ‘Actions not words’ this is something that we actively believe, we are all proud to be part of the Freddie’s family. I look forward to working closely with you all again and thank you in advance for your steadfast support Kindest regards Amanda Shea Head of Year 10

explanation of absence:
Absence Line: 01942 881986
Please ensure you notify school of any changes to emergency contact numbers.
School has a clear Attendance Policy. School makes the decision to authorise absence. In
certain cases medical evidence will be requested. Wherever possible please avoid
medical/dental appointments during school hours.
If NO message is received on Day One of absence, Attendance Officer, Ms J Rea will operate
our Parent Call System. It is vital that you contact school on Day One with a reason for your
child’s absence
If on Day 3 no contact has been made, school will undertake a welfare check.
Parents are notified of their child’s attendance regularly i.e. Progress Review Day, parents’
evening, interim reports and on-line reporting.
If your child’s attendance becomes a cause for concern, a letter will be emailed or posted to
the child’s home address. Parents/carers could be invited to an attendance meeting in School
with our Attendance Officer and HOY. A home visit could be undertaken.
Unauthorised absences may result in a fine being issued / legal court proceedings. Holidays
during term time, unauthorised absences will prevent your child attending the prom.
If you have any concerns regarding your child’s attendance please do not hesitate to contact
Ms J Rea on the above line.
