Attendance

Please notify the school before registration on the morning of any absence. Either an email to the school office or leaving a voicemail is acceptable. To ensure the safety of our children, the school will telephone home if any child is absent without explanation.

Please do inform us of the reason for any absence due to illness. We are required to monitor any outbreaks for health reasons. If your child has suffered from sickness or diarrhoea we request that they be kept away from school for 48 hours from their last episode.

Holiday requests

The school cannot authorise leave of absence in term times unless there are exceptional circumstances. Please see our attendance policy on the school website for more details. Should an absence be unavoidable, please complete the Exceptional Absence Request Form and return to the school office.

Illness

If your child is ill or involved in an accident whilst at school, every effort will be made to contact you and you will be asked to take him/her home, or if necessary to a doctor. Please ensure the school has an up- to-date telephone number where you can be contacted during school hours. The school has procedures for recording accidents, and informs parents if they are of a serious nature. In the case of minor accidents, the child will be attended to by a qualified first- aider. Any child with a bumped head will be issued with a note home.
