Pupil Absence

If your son or daughter is going to be absent from school due to sudden illness, parents/carers need to ring the pupil absence line to inform the attendance officer of the reason for this absence. If a phone call isn’t received, this is classed as an unauthorised absence.

In the case of a pre-existing medical appointment, a copy of the appointment letter can be brought to school in advance of the absence and shown to the attendance officer.

The parents/carers of all pupils who are absent from school without prior knowledge will be contacted by the Attendance Officer. Unexplained, unauthorised absences are a cause for concern and will be followed up in accordance with the Attendance Policy.

Please consult the Attendance page for further information on the importance of regular school attendance and our procedures for dealing with absences.
