Students at Shooters Hill Sixth Form College are expected to attend 100% of the time. If they are unwell they must contact the student absence department in the morning of each day of sickness. If the student is unwell for a long period of time due to medical reasons we will need them to provide us with a doctor’s certificate upon their return. Holidays during term time are not permitted and will be counted as unauthorised absence.
