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.
Every Day Counts!
At Education 1st we believe in providing a personalised plan for each student to enable them to achieve as much progress as possible during their time with us.
Each student has a 'Student Pathway Plan' which outlines their individual targets covering the 6 areas of social, emotional and mental health. Students are made aware of their targets and their progress is regularly discussed with them and celebrated.
Each student also has an 'Individual Education Plan'. Targets are set at the start of term for students to work towards focusing on their engagement and progress within their Maths, English and PSHE. These targets are taken directly from the young persons EHCP if they have one. Progress is reviewed termly and students are given the opportunity to reflect on their progress and share their voice.
Termly reports are shared with both Parents/Carers, school and other commissioning bodies.
