Absence from Extra-Curricular Activities

If a pupil is to be absent for a lesson, e.g. for a paid extra-curricular lesson, they should let the teacher know in advance. This could be via email, or some teachers prefer that they post in the stream in the relevant subject destination of the Learning Platform. Please see Being a Google School for more information.
