Come to
school and
you may win
a holiday
RHYL High School is using a
reward system to motivate
pupils and turn around its
attendance records.
Pupils are allocated a house
when they arrive and can gain
points for themselves through
attendance, attainment and
positive behaviour, contributing
towards the house as a whole.
The school hosts reward
ceremonies throughout the year in
which pupils and form classes are
presented prizes including days
out to theme parks and other
attractions as part of its successful
Rewards System.
Pupils who attain 100 per cent
attendance this year are being
offered the chance to win a
holiday for a family of six to the
Isle of Wight.
Not every pupil can achieve 100
per cent attendance so each and
every pupil has an attendance
target based on their own
individual circumstances and they
then reap rewards when they meet
or exceed their target.
The idea behind the Rewards
System is to set children goals and
challenges and are part of our
reward system.
And it appears to be working
with attendance levels averaging a
tremendous 95 per cent this year
compared with figures in the early
80s in only a couple of years ago.
Each year group has a Progress
Manager who closely monitors
attendance, punctuality and
attainment and works with Rhyl
High School’s Study Support
Centre to ensure every child
reaches their maximum potential
throughout their school career.
New strategies are due to be
launched to further improve
attendance with the support of
our parents, the children.

Denbighshire Voluntary
Services Council
In recent years Rhyl High
School has been recording some
of its best-ever results.
Its Key Stage 3 results for 2010
were outstanding, reflecting of
the hard work of students and
staff.
The percentage of students
who achieved Level 5 or above at
the end of Year 9 also showed a
tremendous improvement with
results now better than a number
of similar schools across Wales.
These improvements
are reflected in
Rhyl High School’s
GCSE results which
have shown sustained
improvements
over the last two
years. This has
inspired confidence
among staff and
school leaders,
ensuring each individual
follows the
correct learning path
Volunteering…. It’s a fun and rewarding way to spend
some of your spare time and it opens your eyes to other things
that are going on in your community. It can challenge you and you
can make new friends. It will also be beneficial for your CV if you
are applying for employment, college or university.
You can register as a Millennium Volunteer if you are 16 to 25,
or a Young Volunteer in Denbighshire if you are under 16,
and get certificates and recognition for any volunteering you
are doing now or in the future.

and will ensure continued
improvements in results.
This year Rhyl High School
chalked up its best set of A
Level results with students
going on to achieve their ambitions
and study in some of
Britain’s top universities.
Rhyl High School is strongly
committed to providing a caring
and supportive environment for
students as individuals and constantly
challenging them to
achieve their best at the end of
their secondary school career.
We believe this will ensure a
bright future for the children and
families who choose Rhyl High
School.
What your club can
do for you
Following a successful start to Rhyl Football in the Communities
Intermediate Labour Market (ILM) scheme,
we are now looking for further Volunteers to gain
access to other schemes and courses run by Rhyl FCITC.
The Everton Foundation- Open to 16 to 18year olds who could be
unemployed, have left school or are looking to go into Coaching or
Teaching, For those who do not meet the required academic level, the
Foundation will look to offer other courses with qualifications. Other
studies include Planning and Delivering sports coaching, Safety and
Ethics in sports coaching. Learners who do not hold Maths and English
at GCSE grade C or above will be required to complete key skills in
application of number and communication at level 1.
Future Jobs Scheme - The Future Jobs Fund (FJF) was announced in
2009. By the end of March 2011 the existing bids will have funded over
100,000 jobs, mainly aimed at 18-24 year olds who have been out of
work for six months and claiming Jobseeker’s Allowance.
Strikers - The hard working staff of 'Strikers' help local young adults
learn basic skills such as reading, Numeracy & Literacy that they have
missed out on for various reasons. As well as this, the students gain
some much needed motivation & confidence and interactive skills to
help them get on with their lives. All of this is done through the huge
language of football and each course lasts just 45 hours over three
weeks.
ILM Scheme - Wales Council for Voluntary Action (WCVA) is
providing £120,000 funding. Lone parents, ex-offenders and people
over 50 are among those taking part. Part of that training will involve
viewing and developing the marketing strategies of Rhyl FC and Rhyl
FC ITC, also giving coaching sessions and organising competitions for
junior teams from Rhyl West and Bruton Park, two of the most
disadvantaged communities in Wales. They will receive training to gain
Level 1 coaching qualifications. The programme is aiming to give all
those involved new qualifications and support more than half into
permanent jobs.
If anyone is interested in or requires more information on the
above please contact Tracey Jones (01745 334441).
