Tutorial Punctuality and Attendance
Tutorial Punctuality and Lesson Attendance
Every Friday we look at punctuality and attendance, the information below details how we calculate lesson attendance by week and overtime.
In one week Number of missed lessons
97% attendance 1 missed lesson (1 hour of work)
95% attendance 2 missed lessons (2 hours of work)
90% attendance 3 missed lessons (3 hours of work)
85% attendance 4 missed lessons (4 hours of work)
80% attendance 5 missed lessons (5 hours of work)
75% attendance 7 missed lessons (7 hours of work)
It is imperative that you the student understand the importance of full attendance in school and attend school and all your lessons on time.
If you have an appointment (for the dentist etc) that cannot be changed, then there is a process to follow, which will allow teachers to provide you with the work you have missed. Neglecting to follow this procedure will result in an unauthorised absence. Students must collect a planned absence form from Mrs Laughlin which will be signed by your subject teachers and tutor. Where possible, all appointments must be made outside of school time.
Permission must be given by the Director of the 6th Form, for any holidays within school term.
If you are ill, then an e-mail or telephone call from Parents/Guardian must be received before the start of the school day, if possible, giving notification of the length of the absence.
