Form tutor claims universities will find out about my attendance???

Under GDPR you have the right to know how your data is used, I suggest you write to the school and ask how your data is used.

Im currently in Year 12, and I am constantly late to form.

I intend to sort this out and hope to start attending form on-time, starting on Monday.

My form tutor has started to tell me and my friend that my poor attendance to form periods will be put on my UCAS application, when applying to universities.

This has worried me as she has only told me this now, and I don't know if I would have enough time to bring my attendance, as a percentage, back up to scratch.

Is she telling the truth? Do universities actually find out about your attendance in your sixth-form?

If so, how would a poor attendance affect my prospects for being accepted into very competitive university courses?

I believe the universities only find out about that kind of thing through your reference.

Ughhh fgss. My form tutor is going to write my reference so shes most likely going to put it down then I guess.

Ima buy her a cupcake tomorrow to calm her down

Ok will do.

Did your attendance get put on your UCAS form ?

You'll be fine, just wake up a bit earlier and you'll be fine. If you're suppose to be there tomorrow morning then go to bed now? xd

I haven't heard of a single referee that writes bad stuff in your reference. They usually omit the good stuff though, so jf you have poor attendance they might not write "is punctual and has great attendence or the right attitude to work".

Get someone else to write the reference. I suspect the tutor is trying to get you to get your act together.
I believe it would be aainst the referee guidelines.

I guess I could just get another teacher to write me reference then. Thanks!

There are guidelines on writing UCAS references and I believe this would be contrary. If you cant trust her/him then get someone else. I suspect its just to encourage you to get your act together.
