In the case of absence due to illness, the school must be informed on the first day of absence, in order for us to record the absence as authorised. This should be done by letter, telephone or in person. We have an answer phone service to report a child’s absence. If your child has sickness, diarrhoea or conjunctivitis please ensure that he/she is clear from symptoms for 48hrs before he/she returns.
Where the absence or lateness is due to medical appointments the school must be informed beforehand and letters or record cards shown. If a child is absent and the school have not been informed then a telephone call made to parents/carers asking them to contact with a reason for absence.
