Attendance Expectations
Students are expected to attend ALL timetabled sessions. This includes subject lessons, Enrichment, tutor periods and assemblies.
We appreciate that sometimes there will be a legitimate reason for a student to be absent, however, we ask that the following are not booked during the college day:
- Non-emergency medical and dental appointments.
- Driving lessons
- Holidays
Taking into account unavoidable absences (illness, hospital appointments, etc) we expect a minimum attendance of 90%.
Absence Procedure
On the day absences
If a student is unexpectedly and unavoidably absent, please contact Carli Callander, Sixth Form Attendance Officer, via telephone or email:

Students should also contact their subject teachers to ask for any work missed.
Signing-out
If a student needs to leave college early they must sign out at the Sixth Form Admin Office.
If a student feels ill during the college day, they must go to the Sixth Form Admin Office, before they leave.
Planned absences
If a student is planning to be absent from college (perhaps on religious grounds or for a hospital appointment) the details should be sent to Carli Callander (Sixth Form Attendance Officer) via email in advance [email protected].
