Studies consistently show a strong correlation between attendance and academic achievement as well as wellbeing. It is for this reason, coupled with the desire to prepare students for the world of work, that we have the highest of expectations in relation to attendance at DSFC.
All of our students are expected to maintain an average attendance rate of 95% or above and must not book holidays during term time.
The table demonstrates the relationship between attendance and attainment, as it highlights the average attendance of students who achieved each A Level grade across all ninety Sixth Form Colleges in the country, thus representing hundreds of thousands of students nationally.
More information about attendance can be found in our Climate for Learning Policy.
