Absence and Reporting Systems

All absences or appointments must be reported to the Sixth Form Team via sixthform@chartereastdulwich.org.uk.

The school cannot authorise any absence for holiday or family trips during term time.

If a student is absent for more than 4 days due to illness, a doctor's note must be provided.

We employ two systems to help report to parents.

1. Daily Attendance Texts - Each student's attendance is checked daily, parents will receive a text message if their child has missed any lessons without reporting the absence.

2. Module report – Students’ attainment and engagement in learning is assessed and reported to students and parents via three module reports per year. These reports will be discussed at our achievement evening which take place in the Autumn term for both Year 12 and Year 13.

How to report a Sixth Form absence

Please inform the team via email at: sixthform@chartereastdulwich.org.uk

Or by telephone (Sixth Form only) after 8am on: 020 3873 2290 - press 3043# for Sixth Form.

Authorisation is required for each day of absence.

Please do not use the office@ or attendance@ email addresses as these are for the Lower school and messages take longer to reach the attendance team in the Sixth Form. 

If possible, please do not leave voicemail messages on the lower school absence line (answerphone) - if it relates to Sixth Form student absence.
