Attendance

Attendance

Full attendance at school is important to make the most of learning and the opportunities to grow and develop. Research shows that good attendance at school leads to students making the most of their potential and achieving better outcomes. Full attendance is an expectation unless there is a prior agreement in place.

Punctuality

Students are expected to be in lessons by 8.20am. This means you should be arriving at the school gate no later than 8.15am. If you arrive after 8.20am you will be asked to sign the Late Sheet and you will need to attend a 10-minute break time detention in W109 on the same day. If you do not attend this detention or if you are late multiple times further sanctions will be put in place.

Absence from school

If you are ill, unable to attend school for some reason or you need to arrive at school late/leave school early, your parents need to contact the school, either by emailing your tutor and copying in life@stjulians.com with the time you are expected to be absent and the reason for your absence or by calling the school. Just before leaving school, you must sign-out at the School Life desk in the Palácio.

Advance permission to be absent

If you know in advance that you will be absent, your parents must request permission from the Head of Year. When classified as an authorised absence by the Head of Year, you may request teacher support for any missed classes. It is your responsibility to confer with teachers and complete all work that has been missed.
