Ok, DD is in year 13. She has authorised periods of 'home study' where the school give her an attendance mark. We have always ensured her good attendance throughout school but we had a bit of a argument discussion last night as she wanted to stay home today to revise for a re-sit she has tomorrow. It is not one of her home study periods, but she only has one lesson all day (in the subject she is re-sitting and so would be revising anyway) and she argued that she would get more revision done at home on her own. She also said that other students had stayed at home revising yesterday too. There is no way we would condone her missing any lessons but would Uni's still look at attendance levels this year, even after offers have been made?
