First Day Response
We ask that parents contact school on the first day their child is absent. If we have not received a reason for absence by 9.30am, our Office Staff will make contact with you.
Signing in/Signing out
If your child arrives late to school, they must enter via the main entrance. If your child needs to leave throughout the school day e.g. a medical appointment, they must be collected from the main entrance.
Medicines in School
If your child has been prescribed medicine from the Doctor, this can be administered at school. This should be brought into school by the parent and given to the School Office staff. A form must be completed before the medicine can be given to your child.
If you have any medical concerns about your child which you think the school needs to be aware, please inform our Office Staff.
Leave of Absence
Authorised leave of absence will be granted for the following only:
· Wedding of a close relative
· Funeral of a close relative
· National sporting activity
· Other exceptional circumstances
Any other request which does not fall into one of the above category’s will be unauthorised.
An application for leave of absence must be made in advance on the appropriate form (available from the school office or from the school website in the section marked “Parents”). A leave of absence is granted entirely at the headteacher’s discretion.
Payments
Any money that is handed into school should be in a named envelope or purse, to avoid unnecessary confusion.
