Absence From School

We are required by the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) to monitor pupils’ absence and to report whether it is authorised or unauthorised. 

Please think carefully about taking your child out of school.  We would encourage you to speak to your child’s class teacher so that you can assess the impact the holiday may have on the education of your child.  Permission for term time absence may be granted under exceptional circumstances. To obtain an application form please ask at the school office.

Ill Health

Please notify school before 9.30 am on the first morning of absence and send in a letter confirming the nature of the absence on your child’s return.

If you child is sick or has diarrhoea please keep your child at home for a minimum of a clear 24 hours after the last time your child was sick or had diarrhoea.  This is to try to limit the spread of stomach bugs amongst the children.
