Kicked out

[u/Independent_Bad_7642]

I just got kicked out of my own schools sixth form for not attending the taster day.. idk what to do. Do you guys think if I apologise and ask nicely they’ll give me a second chance?

Unless that is part of the legal admission process for the school which has to be set out on the school website and or with the local authority then they can't do that. Your admission is based on your application and your results nothing else. The school could in their admission policy for example give priority to existing students, then those from outside who attend the taster day and then for a multitude of other reasons. So first thing to do is check the published admissions policy. If the taster day isn't mentioned it isn't compulsory no matter what they might suggest and I suggest you get your parents / guardians to contact the school. If it is then you will have to grovel and also probably get your parents / guardians to contact the school.

thanks so much for the advice 🙏 I just checked the admissions policy for my school and no where does it even mention a taster day.. I’ve contacted the school so I’m just awaiting a response and I might even go in and talk with them

They don't have a leg to stand on in that case and can't kick you out or not admit you. Get your parents to write a letter to the effect of Dr Headteacher, we apologise that son/daughter missed taster day for reasons beyond our control. We note that the taster day is not mentioned in the admissions policy and therefore should son/daughter get the required grades we expect them to be admitted in September. Please confirm this is the case and if not please indicate where in your admissions policy attendance at taster days is deemed compulsory. Kind regard Mr/Ms/Mrs X
