Absence - Attendance - Time for SchoolIf your child is ill and cannot attend school, you must let us know before 9.00am that day by calling the office on 01582 761636. We would also like to know roughly when you expect your child to return. If they can’t return by the expected date, please tell the office to revise your estimate. If you are unsure when they will return, you must call each day before 9.00am. If your child has sickness or diarrhoea, in line with the Health Authority’s recommendation, you must keep them at home for 48 hours after the last bout of illness. If your child has a serious or recurring medical problem, it is vital that you let us know. If your child has an accident or becomes unwell and is clearly unable to continue to stay at school, we will always contact you or the person nominated by you. Requests for AbsenceThe application form for a leave of absence can be found here.
AttendanceAll schools by law must follow the Department for Education’s statutory guidance relating to school attendance. They must use the appropriate national attendance or absence code, and follow the criteria set out within the guidance. The statutory guidance states:
Please note all schools are expected to regularly inform parents about their child’s attendance and absence. Taking your child out of school during term time could be detrimental to their educational progress. Time for School |
