If you
are unable to attend an examination you must telephone the
school office (01379 870315) no later than 8:45am on that day. Leave
a message for Mr Waller. The only acceptable reason for non-attendance
is on urgent medical grounds. You MUST obtain a medical
certificate which includes the doctor's address, giving the reason
for and dates of your absence. The certificate must be sent to school
immediately.
Medical
or dental appointments, holiday arrangements or interviews are not
accepted by the examination boards as reasons for absence. If you
believe you have any other valid reason for non-attendance you MUST
contact Mr Waller before the examination date if at all possible.
Year 10:

non-attendance is on medical grounds. You MUST obtain a note from your
parents/guardian which gives the reason for and dates of your absence.
