Dear Parents/Carers & Students
We hope that you enjoy catching up with this week’s news and message from Mrs Doward, Headteacher:
We hope you have a lovely weekend!
Stretford High School
The Importance of Consistent Attendance – Maintaining regular attendance is crucial for academic success and the development of essential life skills. Despite the allure of starting the weekend early, it is important that students attend school every day, including Fridays.
Recent observations have shown a decline in Friday attendance, which mirrors patterns from the previous year. This trend can negatively impact learning and set a precedent that might hinder future career progression.
Parents are encouraged to support consistent attendance by ensuring children attend school even when they feel tired from activities such as late-night gaming. Addressing any patterns of absenteeism can help identify underlying issues and provide necessary support.
In summary, fostering good attendance habits will benefit our children throughout their lives. Let’s work together to ensure every child attends school regularly and builds a foundation for success.
Thank you for your support!
