Appointments During the School Day
Students in Years 7-11
Parents are required to submit a form should they need to take their child out of school during the School Day. A copy of this form can be downloaded below.
Students should then bring the form to school on the morning of their appointment. The form needs to be signed by their form tutor. Students should keep the form with them until the time they need to leave their lesson and must show it to their teacher to enable them to leave class. Students should then make their way to Student Services to sign out, where they will have to produce the form again before coming to Reception for their parent to collect them.
If the appointment time means that they won’t be in school first thing on the morning of their appointment, they should get the form signed by their Form Tutor and take the form to Student Services the day before their appointment so that a note can be made in the school diary.
All students leaving school during the day must sign out from our Student Services Office and sign in upon their return.
