Any student unable to attend school should email Mrs Gwinett and Mrs Pollitt on b.gwinett@abbotbeyneschool.co.uk and l.pollitt@abbotbeyneschool.co.uk with the reason for the absence or contact the Absence Line at Linnell Office.
Attendance Line: 01283 759007 – Option 1
Planned Absence
If a student knows that they are going to be absent (e.g. visiting a university), they must contact their subject teachers to ensure they do not fall behind with their work
Emergencies
If students need to miss a lesson during the day for a legitimate reason they must inform Mrs Gwinnett or Mrs Pollitt in person or by email before leaving school.
Medical and Miscellaneous Appointments
Doctors’ or dentists’ appointments should not be scheduled at the same time as a lesson – except in an absolute emergency; nor is it acceptable to arrange driving lessons or similar appointments to occur during lesson time.
Holidays
No holidays are authorised for Sixth Form students. It is not appropriate to book recreational breaks during term time.
