Absences

If you are unexpectedly and unavoidably absent you must contact Sixth Form Reception on the day of absence, by emailing absence@cambournesixthform.org. You must also make contact with your subject teachers to ask for any work missed.

If you are planning to be absent from school (perhaps on religious grounds or for a hospital appointment) you must seek permission from Ms Rose or Dr Bell prior to the absence. Try to avoid any appointments (e.g. driving lessons) during your timetabled lessons and activities as these absences cannot be authorised. Holiday absences during term time cannot be authorised. Remember that universities and employers will ask for attendance rates in the references that we supply.
