Absence and Reporting Systems
All absences or appointments must be reported to the Sixth Form Team via the ClassCharts parent app. Please click ‘Report New Absence’.
The school cannot authorise any absence for holiday or family trips during term time.
If a student is absent for more than 4 days due to illness, a doctor's note must be provided.
We employ two systems to help report to parents.
- Communication home about attendance - Each student's attendance is checked daily, parents will receive either a phone call or text message if their child has missed any lessons without reporting the absence.
- Module report – Students’ attainment and engagement in learning is assessed and reported to students and parents via two module reports per year. These reports will be discussed at our Achievement Evening. Please see our key dates section.
Authorisation is required for each day of absence.
Please do not use the office@ or attendance@ email addresses as these are for the Lower school and messages do not reach the attendance team in the Sixth Form.
If possible, please do not leave voicemail messages on the lower school absence line (answerphone) - if it relates to Sixth Form student absence. Please use the parent app of ClassCharts.
