If your child is unwell, you should contact the school office before 9:00^am on the first day of sickness and leave a message on the school answer phone. 

If your child is absent and the office has not been informed, we will endeavour to call home to find out why they are not in school. It will then be coded according to the agreed attendance codes.

If we are unable to contact home, the absence will be unauthorised. If there has been no contact with home for three days with no reason given, staff will complete a ‘safe and well’ check at the family home.

If you know your child will be absent from school for an unavoidable medical appointment, you can contact the school office for an absence request form. Please note: we may ask for evidence of the appointment, to support the request.

No holidays during term time will be authorised by the Head of School, except in exceptional circumstances, which will be at the Head’s discretion.
