Attendance Policy
Attendance and Punctuality Policy
We are working hard on supporting high attendance so that students do as well as they can. There are several strategies in use.
Students must contact school using the absence line (0208 270 6222) on every day of absence. On their return to school students must supply a note explaining their absence. There are slips for this purpose in the student planners.
If we are concerned about a student we will use an attendance card to monitor their attendance. If concerns continue we will contact parents and discuss further support.
We hope that these strategies will show that we are supporting students who need help and allowing mature students to take more responsibility for their learning. We also want to make it clear that excellent attendance is vital for success in Sixth Form.
Absence
All absences (i.e. illness) need to be reported by phone to the absence line prior to 8am on the day of absence.
Should a student have a medical appointment that is unable to be made outside of school hours an LOA must be submitted to Miss Quinn for approval. This is to be submitted no later than 3 days prior to the appointment and must include a copy of the appointment confirmation (i.e. Hospital letter/appointment card).
LOA form are located outside the Sixth Form Admin office.
Should the above guidelines not be followed then students will be marked as unverified absence.
