Impact of Absence
Spalding High School Resilience
Research shows that for every 10% non-attendance over a school year a grade at GCSE is lost.
Attendance Matters
All pupils are expected to attend school full-time unless they are medically unfit or there are other circumstances beyond their control.Pupils have 13 weeks of holidays during the year, so family holidays should not be taken during term time.Only in exceptional circumstances will leave of absence be granted during term time. Any request must be in writing to Mrs Anderson at least 2 weeks in advance. Please do not assume that this automatically authorises absence.No leave of absence will be granted during examination periods.
Absence Procedures
Spalding High School Respect
If you are absent from school your parents/carers should ring the school on the first day of absence to explain the reason.If you are absent for more than 3 days, parents/carers should keep the school updated on your condition and when you are likely to return.On your return to school, you must show a completed Absence Explanation note (in your planner) to your form tutor, explaining the reason for absence, written and signed by a parent/carer. Absences will not be authorised without this slip.
Absence Procedures
Spalding High School Caring
Keep in touch with school work by speaking to a friend who may be able to collect work, note home works, photocopy notes.Ask for books to be sent home or collected.Carry out private reading or extended project work.Approach staff on return to school and seek help and support for catching up on missed work.
In exceptional circumstances, when absence is for a prolonged period, it may be possible for the school to provide work in some subjects at parental request.
