STUDENT ATTENDANCE & ATTITUDE - GUIDELINES ON PROCEDURES

 

 

 

In order to eliminate prolonged absenteeism/poor attitude to work the procedure detailed below MUST be followed by the Personal Tutor..

 

 

As soon as an issue arises relating to attendance and/or attitude the matter must be discussed with the student; as a result the student may be issued with a verbal warning and action plan. This should be recorded by the Directorate Team. This begins the disciplinary process for this student and following this, the student should be monitored according to this process.

 

ATTENDANCE

 

Attendance is compulsory for ALL timetabled sessions including,group tutorials and individual interviews arranged with Personal Tutors.

 

1. During induction students will be informed by their Personal Tutor that the College must be notified of absenteeism · by using the Cambria website to report their absence before 9.15am.

 

2. Information on student absenteeism received  will be logged. At the end of each day, if students are recorded as absent and haven't contacted college, they will be texted. Parents of under 19 year olds will also receive a text.

 

3. Each week Personal Tutors must check the absence reports for their tutor group on EBS.

 

4. As soon as any worrying pattern of absence from lessons emerges:

• the course/subject tutor will, where possible, discuss the situation with the student to identify and attempt to resolve the problem and explain the consequences if such a pattern continues, such as sending letters home so as to inform parents/guardians, contract between the College and Student formalising an agreed course of action/

• any tutor who is unaware of reasons for student absence or is concerned about attendance must liaise with the Personal Tutor.

• Personal Tutors must inform the student of any concern he/she has or which is brought to the attention of the Personal Tutor by another member of staff.
