Parent & Carers Reporting an Absence

If your child or young person is going to be absent from college, they can report this online using our student app.

If they are unable to do so, please call 0300 30 30 007 from 8am onwards and our staff will help you to do this.

You will need to let us know which subject(s) your child or young person is studying and at which Cambria site.

Our staff will then put you through to the relevant subject area.
When you are transferred, you may reach an answerphone, if this is the case please leave a message that clearly states your young person’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

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 reception or visit the Admin Office on their relevant Cambria Site, if they don’t know where that is please make sure they ask their course tutor or progress coach and they will direct you.

Planned absence

If a student’s absence is known about in advance (i.e. university open day, hospital appointment), then the student needs to contact reception or visit the Admin Office on their relevant Cambria Site, if they don’t know where that is please make sure they ask their course tutor or progress coach and they will direct you.

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. However if a family holiday is planned please ask the student to contact reception or visit the Admin Office on the relevant Cambria Site, if they don’t know where that is please make sure they ask their course tutor or progress coach and they will direct you. Please also ask the student to notify all course tutors and progress coaches.
