Attendance

If your child is absent from school, please telephone the school office by 9.00 on the first day of absence and send a note the day your child returns. If the illness is prolonged, please keep us informed about progress. Any absences where the school has not been notified will be classified as ‘unauthorised’ and will be recorded on your child’s record, as required by government legislation. Absences that must be classed as unauthorised include parental or family illness, day visits to family members, treats and trips.  Where a child’s attendance is poor over a period of time, the Education Attendance officer will become involved and make contact with the family.
