Note for Parents: Absence Requests
We have reviewed our process for requesting permission for absence to ensure direct communication with the most appropriate person to ensure a prompt response to your request. Please see the revised schedule below:
Absence reason | Seek Permission from |
One-off or weekly absence on school days for medical appointments, sports training commitments etc | Housemistress and Senior Tutor |
Absence from Saturday lessons | Housemistress and Senior Tutor |
Weekend away from Saturday lunch to Sunday evening for full boarders | Housemistress |
Absence on weekends from sports fixtures | Director of Sport |
Absences for family holidays and early departure at the end of term | Head |
If lessons are missed, the expectation is that the pupil will inform her teachers and ensure any missed work is caught up.
Saturday afternoons are dedicated to sports fixtures. We encourage wide participation in sports and playing in QM teams is part of the QM community and team spirit. We expect all girls to be available and willing to play in teams and when selected, to prioritise their fixtures over all other commitments. All girls selected to play in teams should check the fixtures information on SOCS for Saturday afternoon arrangements.
