Late/Absence Procedures
Dfe Guide for parents on School attendance
If your child is absent from school, please contact school by phone before 9.00 a.m. to let us know. If no one answers the phone please leave a message. Phone messages are always checked before emails so please do not email absences. We are always concerned and it is our duty of care for us to know that your child is absent legitimately.
Unauthorised absences are recorded as a result of failure to inform school about any absence or for holidays taken in term time. A “Late” mark is given to any child arriving after the register has been closed each day (8.55 a.m.). A termly letter is sent to parents giving details of your child’s attendance.
