Absence
• If you know that you are going to miss a lesson
for any reason, you should tell me in advance
in order to be set work so that you do not fall
behind. This work must be completed before
the next lesson that you attend.
• If you are unwell and you miss a lesson you
should contact me or another student to find
out what work you missed. You should catch
up on missed work.
