WHEN YOUR CHILD IS UNWELL
If your child is unwell and unable to attend school, we ask that you call the school office by 8.30am to let us know of the absence. We will require your child’s name, class and reason.
HOLIDAYS
As a school we are NOT permitted to authorise any holidays taken outside of the term dates. The termly dates can be found on our website, newsletters or via the school office. These are published at the end and start of each school year. Any absence taken for holidays will be coded as UNAUTHORISED.
REQUESTS FOR ABSENCES
If you require leave from school, for whatever reason, you must obtain a ‘Request Form’ from the school office. It is always appreciated if requests are made prior to any arrangements being made.
REWARDS
Certificates are issued weekly to one class in each phase with the best attendance. These are given in assembly. Children who achieve 100% attendance each term receive a certificate and a prize, also in assembly.
AS PARENTS/CARERS IT IS YOUR LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THAT YOUR CHILD COMES TO SCHOOL REGULARLY.
