What to Expect

Attendance

Students are required to be in school daily between 8:30am and 3:00pm (3:50pm where a period 7 lesson is timetabled) except for break & lunch .

As well as meeting our Sixth Form attendance expectation of 98% or above, it is essential that students show a positive attitude to learning and independent study from the outset.

Evidence, such as a hospital letter, appointment card or GP surgery text is required when lateness or absence is due to medical appointments. We do ask that parents/students endeavour to arrange non-specialist & non-urgent appointments outside of school hours wherever possible. All absences must be requested at least three days in advance using the Leave of Absence form & have prior agreement from a member of the Sixth Form Team.

If your child is absent from school for any reason, please email attendance@radcliffeschool.org.uk
