As parents/carers it is your legal responsibility to ensure your child comes to school regularly.

Attending school every day helps your child:

• To take part in all lessons, access all learning and reach their full potential
• To be involved in every aspect of school life
• To have a structured routine
• To make friends and develop social skills
• To feel part of the school community
• To understand the importance of education

Coming to school on time every day helps your child:

• To be ready for learning and not miss any learning opportunities
• To settle into the day
• To get into good habits further down their school career and work in the future

WHEN YOUR CHILD IS UNWELL

When your child is unwell and not able to attend school, we ask that you call or email the school by 9.00am to let us know of the absence. We will require your child's name, class and reason. Any absence not reported will be marked as UNAUTHORISED.

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.
