Attendance, Lateness, & Holidays Policy
Attendance
For health and safety reasons, students must inform Ingla by WhatsApp, phone, or email when they can’t come to class.
If a student misses a lesson and doesn’t tell Ingla beforehand, this will be marked as an “unauthorised absence”. If your attendance is lower than 85%, we will contact you directly to talk about this. If you don’t have a valid reason for your absences, then you risk losing your place in class without a refund.
Please note that:
- If you don’t attend 3 consecutive classes, we will contact you (or a friend/family member) to find out why.
- We will record this conversation in your student file.
- If you don’t respond within 10 days, we will remove you from your class.
Lateness
Ingla students are expected to arrive on time for lessons.
We understand if you have problems with transport or longer shifts at work. If you’re going to be more than 15 minutes late for class, you must tell your teacher, or Ingla, by WhatsApp.
If you are consistently late without a reason:
- 1st time: Verbal warning
- 2nd time: Written warning
- 3rd time: You will be removed from your class without a refund
Holidays
Ingla understands if you need to take a holiday during your course.
You can take 1 holiday per term.
You must tell Ingla about your holiday plans, and which days you will not be at school 2 weeks in advance. We will add the days you miss to the end of your booking.
If you take a holiday without telling us, you risk losing your place in the class without a refund. When you tell us about your holiday plans, you must show us proof (like a flight ticket or hotel booking) for Ingla to review.
