SPECIALISM SUCCESS
All Hallows celebrated Chinese New Year in style with a performance by Chinese acrobats. The sell-out performance on Wednesday 12 February was thoroughly enjoyed by all. The extended All Hallows community was treated to highly skilful performances and learned a great deal about the culture and traditions of China. Many thanks to Mrs Denby for arranging, organising and even acting as presenter for the show.
COLLEGE PRAYER
Prayer for Fairtrade Fortnight, Feb 23 - March 13 God of solidarity, You entrusted the earth and its
resources to the stewardship of humankind. Yet the goods of creation, destined for the whole
human race, are enjoyed by a privileged few. For the producers of our consumer goods there are no
privileges; just working long hours for little pay. For us, who benefit from unfair trade, we take for
granted the toils of men and women who maintain our standard of living.
Inspired by Jesus who brought good news to the poor, show us how we may stand in solidarity with people
who suffer through unjust trading rules. May they soon experience the joy of the vineyard
workers who were called to be the first among the last, and were included as equal inheritors of your kingdom.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen. Tony Singleton/CAFOD
Prayer focus: The Unemployed

YEAR 13 FORMAL DINNER
Year 13 will be celebrating their end of studies at All Hallows with a formal dinner on Fri 8th July at the Hilton Double Tree Hotel, Piccadilly, Manchester.
Parents and students are reminded that all students’ mobile ‘phones must be switched off between 8:40am and 3:30pm and not be used for any reason during the day. Failure to comply with this rule may result in items being confiscated which will have to be collected from College by a parent. If a student is ill and uses the ‘sick room’, then the office staff must contact home, not the student on their mobile ‘phone. Thank you for your on-going support with this matter.
PARENTS AS PARTNERS: MOBILE PHONES
Tuesday 10 May 2016
Year 7 Attend College Activity Day (organised by Mrs Marshall)
Year 8 CONSULTATION DAY Reading blog at home on theme of Languages when not in appointments (organised by Languages Faculty)
Year 9 Year 9 Higher Education visit organised by Miss Thomason and Mr Blades
Year 10 CONSULTATION DAY Reading blog at home on theme of Sport, Exercise and Diet when not in lessons (organised by PE and DT Faculties)
Year 11 Home Study / Revision Study – Science work to be set (at home or in College – organised by Science Fac-ulty)
Year 12/13 Revision Day / Private Study in college or at home (organised by Mrs Garvey)
CONSULTATION DAY
Students must sign out at the Attendance Office before leaving College to attend a medical appointment. When they return to College the student must sign back in. This ensures registers will be accurate and we know the student is off site should we have a fire alarm. The Attendance Office is located in an office along the RE corridor. We thank parents for making medical appointments, where possible, that do not take up a whole day of schooling. This often allows a student to have their legal registration mark for both morning and afternoon sessions and so their overall attendance does not fall.
MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS DURING THE COLLEGE DAY
Holidays have not been authorised since 1st September 2013 under legislation on all English schools. Requests for holidays must still be made in writing to the appropriate Key Stage leader (Mrs Garvey KS5, Mr Diamond/Mr Blades KS4/KS3), but in the vast majority of cases they will be unauthorised. A Fixed Penalty Notice may be issued of £60 per parent / carer per student, to be paid within 21 days, otherwise the penalty will rise to £120 per parent / carer to be paid within 28 days. If the penalty remains unpaid then the matter will proceed to the Magistrates Court where you will receive a criminal record if you are found guilty. Please can all holiday requests be made well in advance of the holiday being taken if not before the holiday is booked.
HOLIDAY ABSENCE FROM COLLEGE
Whilst the College requires parents to contact us on each day of absence, school policy now requires that any student who accumulates 7 or more days of absence during the course of the academic year will be asked to provide medical confirmation of the need to be absent before any further absences are authorised for medical reasons. This is a necessary measure as we closely monitor absence due to illness / medical reasons in order that we can ensure students are supported where needed. For your information medical confirmation does not have to be a doctor's note but can also take the form of a medical appointment card, a copy of a relevant dated prescription or evidence of medication being taken. If no medical evidence is provided then the absence will be coded as unauthorised. Ten or more unauthorised absences may result in you receiving a Fixed Penalty Notice. This incurs a penalty of £60 per parent / carer to be paid within 21 days, otherwise the penalty will rise to £120 per parent / carer to be paid within 28 days. If the penalty remains unpaid then the matter will proceed to the Magistrates Court where you will receive a criminal record if you are found guilty. The link between attendance and achievement is well researched and documented and students should be aiming for an attendance rate of no less than 97% over the year. Thank you for your continued support with this importance issue.

ATTENDANCE MATTERS
Over the last week of College attendance was as follows: Year 7 - 96.1% (up 0.5% on last week, well done Year 7) Year 8 - 95.7% (up 1.9%, well done Year 8) Year 9 - 94.8% (up 1.1%, well done Year 9) Year 10 - 95.7% (up 0.6%, well done Year 10) Year 11 - 91.8% (down 0.5% and still too low Year 11) Year 12 - 95.8% (up 0.1%, well done Year 12) Year 13 - 93.5% (up 4.1%, well done Year 13) Attendance between Year 7 and Year 11 last week was 94.8% (up 0.7% from last week but 1.0% lower than the same time last year). Our overall attendance since 2 September 2015 remains at 95.5%. We aim for 97%. Last week GIRLS attendance (Years 7-11) was 94.7% (up 1.0% on last week), BOYS attendance Year 7-11) was 95.0% (up 0.6% on last week). Since 2 September 2015 boys attendance between Years 7-11 is 95.7% and girls attendance between Years 7-11 is 95.3%.
CHANGES TO ATTENDANCE POLICY
From September 2015 the College has changed the definition of “persistent absence” we use to include those students who are under 90% attendance. This is in line with national guidelines and increases the threshold from 85% at present.

CAREERS ADVICE FOR STUDENTS
If any parent would like their son or daughter to have a careers interview with Mrs Pilling, our Careers Advisor, this year then please notify the relevant Year Learning Leader who can ensure names are added to the list. Mrs Pilling will prioritise Year 10-13, but students in Years 7-9 are welcome to attend her Thursday lunch time drop in. She uses the Student Support Office based next door to Music.
Most students appreciate the importance of being in College on time. Children who are regularly late do miss out on their education and form bad habits that will not be tolerated in the workplace. We need to inform parents that students must be in the registration form class for the register to be taken at 8.45a.m. This means students should arrive 5-10 minutes earlier in College to be on time. Any student who arrives after 8.45a.m. will receive a L code. Two L codes within a week will result in a whole college detention to be held each Thursday. Any student who arrives after 9.05a.m. will receive a U code. This means they will be classed as absent for the whole morning and this may have consequences for overall attendance. We are aware that College buses are sometimes late and we can confirm these students are not negatively marked in the register when this happens. Thank you for your co-operation in this matter. Gates are manned by members of staff and names will be taken of those students who are late.
