Ensure your child arrives on time for school every day and is ready to learn. Arriving after registration is recorded as an unauthorised absence. Pupils must be in school by 9.00am.

Avoid taking holidays during term time.

If your child appears to be only slightly ill, send them to school. We have staff who will contact you if their condition deteriorates.

 Book any medical appointments outside of school hours. If this is unavoidable, please book for as late in the afternoon as possible and inform the school of appointments in advance.

Supply a copy of the appointment card or hospital letter if your child has an appointment during school hours.

There may be exceptional circumstances where you need to request a leave of absence for your child. Please use our ‘Absence Request’ form to make these types of requests. You will receive a letter in response, to advise if the request has been granted or declined. See form linked below:
