Attendance
General Attendance
All Sixth Form students are expected to be on school grounds by 8.30am, attend tutor time at 8.35am and be in school until 3pm.
Sixth Form students are expected to attend all lessons, including Life Skills, Electives and Study Skills lessons.
If a teacher is not in school, students are still expected to attend the lesson in the classroom and complete the work set on Google Classroom. The only exception to this is if a teacher gives written permission to work elsewhere. Miss Stefan must be made aware of this.
Failure to adhere to these expectations will result in a sanction for truancy.
Absences
For planned absences (ie Doctor or Dentist appointments), parents/carers need to complete the Future Absence Form. This can be found in the Operoo form library.
For sickness or unplanned absences, parents/carers must complete the Absent Today Form, also on Operoo. A student cannot report their own sickness/absence.
Illness During the School Day
If a student is feeling unwell during school time, they must go to the Medical Office based in Reception. Their parent/carer will be informed if student needs to go home. Students should not be contacting home directly.
The notifying of parents/carers is a safeguarding measure and these steps must be followed.
Use of Golden Tickets
Golden Tickets can be used for a late start or an early departure - as long as students are not missing any lessons. For a late start, students must inform staff in the Sixth Form centre the day before.
When students arrive in school, they must sign in at Reception. For an early departure, students must sign out with Mrs Trinder or Miss Stefan in the Sixth Form Centre when they wish to leave.
Signing In and Out of School
If students arrive or leave at any time outside of the normal school hours, they must sign in or out with Mrs Trinder or Miss Stefan in the Sixth Form Centre. This applies even when we are aware that a student has an appointment.
