Illness or Medical Appointments
Please inform school by 9am if your child is too ill to attend. We need a call for every day of the absence.
It is recommended that medical appointments be arranged before or after school. If this is not possible, please inform school of all appointments in advance.
You can contact us as follows:
Phone – 01743 875020
Email– [email protected]
If a child is not in school by 9:15am and we have not been informed of a reason for their absence, we will phone the contacts you have given us, please note this may involve informing all emergency contacts logged for your child. If we are unable to make contact in this way, we will send a text and/or email letting you know that your child is not in school, and that we may make a Safe and Well Check at home.
If your child is absent from school and we cannot contact you, absences will be noted as ‘Unauthorised’. We will continue to try to make contact to establish the reason for the absence and will endeavour to provide support if there is anything we can help with. If we are unable to establish the safety of a child, we may call for the support of the police.
Holiday
The Headteacher can only approve holiday in term time in exceptional circumstances, which are very rare. Should you take an unauthorised holiday, the unauthorised absence will be reported the Education Welfare Officer and you may be fined.
