STAGS Sixth Formers

Good attendance to school is intrinsically linked to high attainment and positive wellbeing. Therefore, at STAGS we place huge importance on our students attending school every day.

Students in the Sixth Form at STAGS are highly respected by the school community, and as such are expected to behave in an appropriate manner. Sixth Formers are expected to dress in a manner appropriate for study in school and abide by the dress code; maintain exemplary attendance and punctuality.

Attendance

It is very important that Sixth Form students aim to attend school every day and are only absent when they are physically too ill to come into school. Our school target for attendance is 96%, and we set all students this target. Attendance in each year group meets this target, and we are very proud to say that many of our students have a 100% attendance record.

Research shows that students who attend school regularly are happier learners than those who miss school on a regular basis. A Level students who miss school often fall behind with their studies and this will significantly affect results. We monitor attendance very carefully, and you will be contacted if your son/daughter's attendance falls below target. We want all students to be happy to attend school and if you feel that your son/daughter is becoming reluctant to attend school then please do not hesitate to contact one of the Sixth Form team.

Unavoidable Absence

In the case of unavoidable absence, parents should telephone the school before 8.30am and on the day of return to school should provide a letter/email explaining the reason for the absence.
