Graduation

Phase One (or Years 7-8) is a very important time where students will lay the foundations for their success at GCSE. Students are enrolled onto our Graduation programme, and if they meet the challenging targets below, they will be able to graduate from Phase One, or even graduate with honours. The Graduation journal will track their progress towards meeting the requirements to graduate. At the end of Year 8, if students have met all the minimum requirements, they will graduate. Like at university, students will wear a cap and gown, and be presented with a certificate. There will then be a special ceremony where they will celebrate their achievements with their parents/carers.

There are, however, a few requirements students must meet in order to graduate. These include:

• µþ±ðÌýdedicated to attending the academy – 97% Attendance​
• Conduct yourself well – Bronze award for Achievement Points ​
• µþ±ðÌýdedicated to attending graduation clubs – 75% Attendance ​
• Conduct yourself well in lesson – Good attitude to learning across all subjects ​
• ³§³ó´Ç·ÉÌýpride in Trinity Talks  – 6 events per year​
• µþ±ðÌýdedicated to Masters of Recall – Meet personalised target

There are different tiers of Graduation, dependent on how many criteria your child meets, ranging from a First Class to a Third.

Students are regularly updated and advised of their progress towards these targets. All students have a Graduation Journal to allow them to check whether they are on track and, if not, set targets accordingly. Students who exceed these targets will aim to become part of the elite group of students who graduate with honours.
