Attendance CTK6
Excellent attendance is essential in order to ensure academic success especially at A Level / Level 3 studies. Students at CTK6 should aspire to 97% attendance and be achieving a minimum 95% attendance as well as having an excellent punctuality record.
Every lesson missed will directly impact a student's academic performance. Excellent punctuality and attendance supports the development of good habits that form part of the foundations of success in both academic and personal lives. Here at CTK6 we strive to ensure our students leave us ready for their next steps in education and employment. By encouraging the highest standards of attendance and punctuality, replicating workplace procedures and expectations we hope to give our students the opportunity to develop their employability skills and a chance to apply these skills to their education before embarking on their next steps whether that be higher education or employment.
For further information and guidance on attendance and punctuality at Sixth Form or general Sixth Form life please read our handbook and student / parent version attendance policy. These documents include information on how to report attendances.

How to report an unplanned absence?
