Absence

Absence

Parents / carers should notify the school on the first school day of absence. If any child is absent and the school has not been notified, the school office will ring the child’s parent / carer.

If contact cannot be made the office will try and contact the parent by another means such as Class Dojo. Telephone calls will continue throughout day until contact is made. If contact cannot be made, or if there are concerns about a child, the Headteacher or PCSO will be asked to make a ‘Safe and Well Check’ visit.

Wherever possible, we ask parents to try to make doctors and dentist appointments before or after school. Where this is not possible, parents should inform the school office and it will be noted in the register. Evidence of appointments will also be requested.
