Below are the rules for students around absence from assessments. Please go over your daughter’s Student Assessment Information Booklet with her to ensure clarity around all of the assessment rules.

Absence from assessments – Procedures:

If you are absent on the day an internal assessment is due for handing in, submit it in the Google Classroom electronically or email it to your teacher by the deadline. In the case of printed material, ask a family member to bring it to the office with the name of the subject teacher clearly on the front.

If you are absent on the day an internal assessment is being held in the classroom you are not automatically entitled to catch up this assessment. For practical or field trip assessments there may be no catch up opportunity.

A catch up assessment would not be available if:

· You went on holiday

· You chose not to turn up (wilful absence)

You need to supply evidence and a completed blue assessment form (available from the office). The blue assessment form needs to be given to your subject teacher who will pass it on to the Assessment Panel.

Each case is considered on its own merit.

Assessment dates may change so it is inadvisable to book holidays/activities during term time.
