We expect 100% attendance from every student, and we monitor this closely throughout the year.
We understand that things come up. The following absences can be authorised with the right notice or evidence:
University Open Days or Applicant Days (up to four per year, evidence required)
University interviews (evidence required)
Hospital, orthodontist appointments or serious illness (evidence required)
Practical driving test (evidence required)
Religious holidays notified at least 24 hours in advance
Bereavement or funeral (letter or phone call from a parent or carer)
Routine medical, dental or optician appointments
Or theory tests
Any absence where evidence was required but not provided
Accompanying a family member to an appointment
Looking after siblings
Exclusions from a lesson or campus
Any absence where evidence was required but not provided
If you arrive late, go straight to your class and let the teacher know. You’ll be marked as late rather than absent. If lateness becomes a pattern, your teacher will have a conversation with you and may involve your Pastoral Manager.
If you arrive so late that you’ve missed the class entirely, report to the Attendance Office.
