Absence request forms
Planned Absence
Single day absences:
If you need to be away from school for a day or part of a day for a genuine reason other than illness, you will need to complete a One Day Sixth Form Planned Absence Form. Planned absence forms can be obtained from the Sixth Form Foyer or from the Attendance Office and should be submitted at least 48 hours prior to the absence.
Not all absences will be authorised, therefore you must seek authorisation in advance. This system is designed for events/appointments that have fixed dates outside your control. Absences which would be authorised under this system might include a hospital appointment, a funeral, a university visit/interview or a practical driving test. Driving theory tests and normal driving lessons that you arrange yourself cannot be taken during lessons, independent study periods or supervised study and should be organised outside timetabled hours.
Longer absences:
If you need to be absent from school for longer than a day, your parent/carer will need to complete a Multiple Day Sixth Form Absence Request Form - available below. This form should be emailed to sixthform@liftmarlingschool.org as soon as you are aware of the need to request absence. Some absences will be recorded as unauthorised.
