Report a Child's Absence

There may be times that your child cannot come into school. In these instances parents/carers are required to report their child’s absence by 8.30am on each and every day of absence. The message must clearly state the students full name, tutor group and give details why your child is absent.

Stating that a child is “sick, unwell or poorly” is not accepted as we need the full reason to provide to the local authority. We will require medical evidence to justify repeated absences. Please note we DO NOT have a 48 hour policy for sickness.
