We monitor all absence, and the reasons that are given, thoroughly.

If a child is absent from school the parent must follow these procedures:

Contact the school on the first day of absence before 9.20 am. The school has an answer phone available to leave a message if nobody is available to take your call, or you may call into school personally and speak to the office staff
Contact the school on every further day of absence, again before 9.20 am
Ensure that your child returns to school as soon as possible and you provide any medical evidence, if requested, to support the absence
