Late/Absence Procedures

Illness or Injuries

If your child is absent through illness, please notify us on the first morning of absence, either by phone or by email, before 8am. Children who have upset stomachs should remain off school until 48 hours after the last bout of illness.

Absence During Term Time

Schools are only able to authorise absence from school in exceptional circumstances. In making a request for an authorised absence from school you need to explain why you feel that the circumstances are exceptional.

 

Please note there is no right to authorise absence for a family holiday. If you take your child out of school without permission the absence will be unauthorised and we may refer the matter for consideration of legal action. You will need to explain why you are applying for an authorised absence and the circumstances which make your application exceptional, and why the leave cannot be taken within the normal 13 weeks annual holiday your child already has from school.

Living life in all its fullness. John 10

FAITH - CURIOSITY - WELLBEING - CONFIDENCE
