attendance information for parents...
If you son/daughter is absent you must contact us immediately with the reason for this absence. You can get in touch by telephone on (0191) 383 0708 or by email absence@dgsc.org.uk.
On his/her return to college they must complete an illness form, stating the reason for absence and return to the Attendance Officer.
If this absence is more than 5 days in length the illness form must also be accompanied by a parental note.
We do not want our students to fall behind with their studies therefore we expect students to speak to their teachers on return to college and make every effort to catch up on any missed work.
As I am sure you will appreciate good attendance at the Sixth Form Centre is vitally important. Our courses are demanding and absence will inevitably lead to students missing vital work and perhaps falling behind with their studies. If attendance becomes a cause for concern we will contact parents/guardians.
In the most serious of cases poor attendance could lead to students being asked to leave the Sixth Form Centre.
However, if there are genuine issues that are stopping your son/daughter from attending college, help is at hand. Just contact their Pastoral Leader of Learning for advice and support.
Please note...
Should you son/daughter wish time off college for a holiday, funeral, university open day and the like, an appropriate Holiday or Leave of Absence form must be completed and permission sought from their Pastoral Leader of Learning.
