How to report an absence

To report an absence, students or parents can either email attendance@kedst.ac.uk or telephone 01384 398179, this should be done as soon as possible.

We ask that all medical appointments are evidenced with a screenshot of the appointment and all university open days evidenced by a screenshot of the invite.

If a student is going to be late to class they need to email the teacher affected and not attendance, the student then needs to make sure they get their late mark from the teacher when they arrive in the lesson.

For more information about attendance please see our ‘Student Attendance and Punctuality’ policy.

Important points:

  • The College does not authorise holiday in term time.
  • Appointments should be made outside of lesson times.
Good attendance is essential to fulfilling your child's potential. There is clear evidence that grades are affected adversely when attendance drops below 95%.
