REPORTING ABSENCE
If your child is absent from school for an unavoidable reason, such as sickness, please ensure that you notify the office by 8:45am on each and every morning of absence. During the call, please be specific with the reason for absence to allow us to record this appropriately and ensure all safeguarding procedures are followed.
If your child has experienced vomiting or diarrhoea, they must be kept off school for 48 hours before returning.
We strongly encourage parents to avoid, where possible, making routine medical appointments during school time however, if this is unavoidable, please provide a copy of the medical appointment to the office.
