School Day/Absence from school

All post 16 students are expected to be on the school campus from 8.40am until 12.30pm, either in lessons or completing independent study.

 

Absence from school

If a Sixth Form student is unwell or unable to attend school, the student themselves or a parent/carer must let the school know before 8:30am on the first day of absence and on all subsequent days. 

You can either:

  • Call 01225 832936 ext 294 to leave a message for Mrs Jenny James
  • Email Jenny on j.james@palladianacademytrust.com
    or
  • The student can send a Microsoft Teams message to Jenny (j.james@palladianacademytrust.com)

 

Rules for 12:30 onwards

If a student has no timetabled lessons from period 4 or 5 then they can:

a.  Sign out at the Lee Sixth Form Centre and complete independent study at home (a timetable should be completed and signed by Ms Haggett authorising this home study time and a copy of this agreement is given to the student upon its completion).

b.  'Tap in' to register (in the Lee Centre Hub, Library or Dining Hall)  and complete independent study in: the library learning resources area; the Lee Sixth Form Centre, the Dining Hall or any free classrooms/ICT spaces. If they are unable to 'tap in' with their ID card, they need to sign a (blue) paper register (on the Sixth Form Reception Desk) for each study period.

c.  Complete ‘community action’/’additional studies’ tasks such as supporting KS3 lessons or helping in the library or canteen.

Individual study programmes are sometimes authorised by Ms Haggett. We may withdraw permission to study off site and insist students work in the school library if the student is underachieving and missing deadlines.

On-site and Off-site study is individually timetabled so it appears on the students timetables, hence signing in and out is essential to accurate attendance data collection.

 

Independent study on-site

Post 16 students are expected to attend registration at 8.40am-9.05am each day and assembly on Fridays.

If students do not have a timetabled lesson for period 1 (9.05am) then after registration they must 'tap in' to register (in the Lee Centre Hub, Library or Dining Hall)  and complete independent study in: the library learning resources area; the Lee Sixth Form Centre, the Dining Hall or any free classrooms/ICT spaces.  If they are unable to 'tap in' with their ID card, they need to sign a (blue) paper register (on the Sixth Form Reception Desk) for each study period.

The same 'tapping in'/paper register rules apply for Periods 2 to 4 if they are timetabled for Study in School.

 

Contact with tutors

If you wish to contact the student's tutor direct, the email address convention is the initial of the staff member's first name, followed by a dot and then their surname, e.g.. j.bloggs@palladianacademytrust.com.
