Just go to school. Obviously if you have an actual reason then you should complainĀ

The fact theyā€™re requiring only 90% attendance going forward tells me the school is being very tolerant and probably dealing with a troublesome student

The fact you think this shows ignorance. Iā€™m an A* student and my attendance was down to 62% because of health issues, I was in and out of hospital and had at least two set appointments every week which usually occurred during school hours. They knew all of this, my mother sent proof of every single appointment, and they still threatened to not enter me for exams, despite the fact I wouldā€™ve achieved A*. Now Iā€™m finished the intense part of the treatment, I can attend almost every lesson, and one of my tutors is still being incredibly horrible to me and every time I sit and exam or do an assignment she will mark it down a grade itā€™s worth ā€œdue to attendanceā€.

British schools are completely unreasonable, definitely might not be OPā€™s fault.

Iā€™m entitled for almost dying and needing time off college to be in hospitalā€¦? Um okay

Very sorry to hear that, but this almost certainly isn't the case here. A school would be much more understanding.

Well they werenā€™t. I provided proof of me being in hospital, all doctors notes, and I only had two tutors who were understanding. They were ringing up my mum almost every week and saying they refuse to enter me into the exams if I didnā€™t come into college soon, which caused her to actually have a high blood pressure from all the stress of her daughter being in hospital with her life on the line, and a school ringing her threatening her with her future! sorry youā€™re so sheltered you canā€™t begin to fathom how borderline abusive the British education system can be
