In cases of absence parents must inform the Academy using one of the methods above, on the first day of a pupil’s absence. Parents should still write a note in the planner to the form teacher explaining the pupil’s absence when they return to the Academy. If the absence is prolonged you may be required to produce a doctor’s note.

We will need to know when the pupil is expected to return to the Academy.

The Attendance Officer will follow up any unexplained absences, you may receive either a text, a voice message or a phone call.

Good attendance is crucial to progress and is directly related to success in exams.
