The Garibaldi School Sixth Form Attendance Policy: 2023-2024

Our Attendance Policy is available here as a PDF download: click here

Attendance at Sixth Form is as vital as it is in all other year groups, and we hold all Sixth Form students to high standards of attendance. We know that Sixth Form students are role models for other year groups and that A-Level study is demanding and challenging; as such, we expect Sixth Form attendance to be at 96% for the whole year, with no unauthorised absences recorded. Historically, we know that students who achieve 100% attendance progress onto their next steps with stronger outcomes than those students whose attendance does not meet our high standards.

Students should strive to achieve consistently good attendance, as poor attendance will affect academic attainment. An exemplary record of attendance says a huge amount about the student as a person, just as it does for employees to employers. It demonstrates their high levels of dedication, motivation, organisation, and responsibility.

The school will strive to provide a welcoming, caring environment, whereby each member of the school community feels wanted and secure. All school staff will work with students and their families to ensure each student attends school regularly and punctually.

Students are expected to attend all timetabled periods. This includes Development Time, Personal Development, timetabled lessons, and additional study periods.
