Student Absence

Sixth Form Attendance

Reporting a student’s absencePlease report all absences for all students to our dedicated absence line - 01283 376751.

Please ensure you tell us:

  • Your child’s name
  • Your name
  • Their tutor group
  • The reason for absence

Absences must be reported each day the child is absent. 

Request for leave of absence: Please submit all absence requests using the links below - 

You must provide documents to support the reason for absence e.g. proof of travel, exam or competition confirmation.

Headteachers are unable to authorise Leave of Absence in Term Time unless the reasons for this are deemed to be exceptional.

Leave of absence, which is deemed not to be exceptional, or is not applied for prior to the absence being taken, is classed as Unauthorised Leave of Absence.
