Students are expected to attend all timetabled lessons, timetabled learning support sessions in the Learning Resource Centre, morning Tutorials and also timetabled PSHEe lessons to support them with their aspirations after Sixth Form.
When reporting an absence please use the following guidelines:

Future Absence Form
Further details on what constitutes as a planned absence can be found in our handbook.
Unplanned Absence
Any absence owing to illness must be reported by 10.00am on the day of the absence by the student or their parent/carer. This can be done by contacting Mrs Goodhew via email or ringing the main College phone number.
It is a student’s responsibility to then email subject staff to apologise for their absence and request work to complete for the following lesson. It is expected that students will have a conversation with their teachers on their return to College to ensure all homework and missed classwork is collected and acted upon for an agreed deadline.
