If you are between 6 and 16 you must go to the school that you are enrolled at on every school day that it is open. It is unlawful for you to only go to school some of the time. If you are sick, or have to be away from school for any other reason, your carers need to write a note to the school to explain why you aren’t there. However if you are over 16 you can arrange part-time attendance with your school.

No school can tell you that you can only attend part time if you don’t want to.
