Parent & Carers Reporting an Absence

If your child or dependent is going to be absent from college, then please call 0300 30 30 007 from 8 am onwards.

You will need to let us know which subject(s) your child or dependent is studying and at which Cambria site.
The switchboard will then put you through to the relevant subject area.

When you are transferred, you may reach an answerphone, please be sure to leave a message that clearly states:

your child’s/dependent’s full name
date of birth
student number (if known)
the subject(s) they are studying with us
reason for absence
the date they will be back in college (if known)
a contact telephone number for yourself

Student or Apprentice Reporting an Absence

What else do you need to know?

Late arrival or leaving college during in the day

If a student is expecting to be late for a planned lesson or needs to leave college during the day and still has lessons that they should be attending, please make sure they contact their course tutor or progress coach before they leave.

Planned absence

If a student’s absence is known about in advance (i.e. university open day, hospital appointment), then the student needs to report it to their course tutor or progress coach before the absence takes place. The student might need to complete an absence request form and provide evidence for some absences.

Holiday during term time

We very strongly urge you not to arrange holidays in term time and request that, whenever possible, appointments with doctors and dentists are made outside of college hours.
