General Information

Attendance 

Welling School Sixth Form students are expected to maintain a high level of attendance and punctuality. An attendance figure that drops below 96.00% will result in a pastoral meeting.

Attendance also is required to weekly assemblies and tutor time every day. 

If you are absent from school due to illness or unavoidable circumstances, your absence must be reported by a parent/ carer via the Welling School absence line. 

Dress Code

The school's dress code for Sixth Form has been designed to represent ‘Smart/Business like’ attire, which ensures students are role models to the rest of the school. All students MUST adhere to the uniform code. If students do not adhere to the dress code they will be expected to return home and change. Persistent breaches of the dress code will be dealt with accordingly.
