Reporting Absences

Reporting Absence

The expectation is that students have 96% attendance over the course of the academic year. Where a student is going to be absent, whether planned or unplanned, the sixth form needs to be notified via the reporting procedures outlined below.

Planned Absence

Students or parents/carers are required to notify the Attendance Officer of any planned absences in advance of the date by completing a planned absence form and submitting evidence for that absence. This is available on Edulink.

Unplanned Absence

Students or parents/carers are required to notify the Attendance Officer of unplanned absence on each morning of the absence. This can be done by emailing attendance@wmsf.ac.uk or via Edulink.
