9. EXPECTATIONS

10. EXPECTATIONS A - ATTENDANCE
All students are expected to have a minimum of 96% attendance and all should arrive to school and lessons punctually. To support students in achieving this, we monitor all students’ attendance and punctuality carefully. We also reward students with excellent attendance and punctuality through prize draws and postcards home. It is crucial that students see the link between attendance and academic achievement and therefore we:
do not allow holidays during term time
expect students to inform us of any planned absences (e.g. university open days, hospital appointments and interviews)
expect notification from a parent/carer in the event of illness – before 8.25am on the day of illness.
