- To report a year 12 absence, parents or guardians (not the year 12 student) must report the absence. No additional evidence is required for medical appointments. This should be done as soon as possible.
- Year 13 absences can be reported by students or parents/guardians. If a medical appointment is reported by a parent/guardian, no additional evidence is required. If a medical appointment is reported by a student they must either provide a screenshot of the appointment as evidence or get a parent/guardian to email attendance and confirm it.
University Open Days
For Year 12 students, absences for university open days must be reported by parents/carers, and no additional evidence is required. Year 12 students may have up to three days of absence for university open days before this begins to impact their attendance record.
For Year 13 students, as they are able to report their own absences, any absence for a university open day must be supported by a screenshot of the open day invitation. Year 13 students are also entitled to up to three days of absence for university open days, which resets at the start of their second year.
Late for class
If a student is going to be late to class they need to email the teacher affected not attendance, the student then needs to make sure they get their late mark from the teacher when they arrive in the lesson.
For more information about attendance please see our ‘Student Attendance and Punctuality’ policy.
Important points:
- The College does not authorise holiday in term time.
- Appointments should be made outside of lesson times.
