Attendance

At Thomas Mills High School & Sixth Form we understand the importance of a child’s attendance on their progress and emotional wellbeing. Only by attending school regularly and punctually will children and young people be able to take full advantage of the educational and social opportunities available to them. We monitor attendance regularly and offer support through our pastoral system for any student who may find attending school a challenge.

We expect a parent/carer to contact the school on the first day of absence by 9.00 am or earlier. 

Absences can be reported via the Arbor Parent App. See below for links to install on your Android or iOS device.
