Reporting Absences - J​ eanette O’Connor
Beginning this term, all student absences must be reported via our Edulink parent portal. It provides a quick,
accurate and secure way for you to give us the key details about the reason for your child’s absence from
school. Edulink absence reporting should be used on the morning of your child’s absence B​ EFORE 8.30 am.
If your child is absent for more than one day a​ n Edulink absence report should be submitted for each
day they are not able to attend school u​ nless they have a serious illness and a medical certificate has
been submitted to us. Please note that we are no longer accepting absence notification by phone message.

Full instructions about how to use our Edulink Portal can be found here.

If you have problems with your Edulink account then please contact [email protected].

Parents/Carers and relations are encouraged
to come and support college matches, but for
the purpose of safeguarding we ask that the
following procedures are followed:

● Spectators must sign in at the main College Reception and identify themselves with a suitable form of
ID (eg credit card, driving licence etc);

● Spectators will be given a ‘Parent Pass’ which must be worn at all times;
● Spectators will be escorted to the pitch and must not enter any other areas of the College, at any

time, other than when going back to the main Reception to sign out;
● Spectators are only permitted to use the visitor toilet in the main Reception;
● Spectators are expected to show their support in a positive and respectful way;
● Spectators must go straight to Reception at the end of the match and sign out.
Many thanks for your cooperation and we look forward to another year of sporting success at Uckfield
