ATTENDANCE
We know that every day at College contributes positively to your learning, and that every lesson attended leads to higher academic achievement and better chances of progression to either further study or into employment. We are committed to making your College experience as positive as possible, and the ‘Attendance Charter’ on page 12 reinforces your responsibilities and the College accountabilities in supporting you to enjoy your College experience and positively achieve your chosen qualifications. Our ambition is that every learner attends every lesson, though we do recognise that sometimes attendance can be impacted by a range of factors. We will monitor your performance closely throughout your programme, and will celebrate positive attendance whilst also supporting and intervening if your attendance ever falls below expectation and becomes a concern.
We have various attendance awards throughout the year to celebrate excellent attendance - be a part of it!
What do I do if I’m ill, miss the bus, or unable to get to work/college? If you are ill or unable to get into work, please follow your employer’s policy or staff handbook which will outline what you will need to do.
If you are not able to come into college, or miss your bus, call the College to let us know by using the absence hotline number: 01772 225959 , or email absencehotline@preston.ac.uk . Alternatively you can contact your Work-Based Tutor or Business Development Leader. If you are leaving a message, make sure that you are clear on your reasons for absence.
I have been asked to work from home, will this affect my attendance? If a member of staff is absent from the College we will always try to arrange cover for your lesson. If suitable cover cannot be arranged you may be asked to work from home or attend your workplace. In this instance, your attendance would not be negatively impacted. ! If you are absent you must contact the College using one of these methods: Absence hotline: 01772 225959 Email: absencehotline@preston.ac.uk Online: www.preston.ac.uk/report-your-absence
