absence
Full attendance at school is vital if children are to gain maximum benefit from their education and so achieve their potential.
The school has a statutory duty to maintain detailed records of children’s absence from school.It is therefore essential that parents let the school know the reason for their child’s absence. Please telephone the school on the first day of absence, and before 10.30am wherever possible.
We are obliged to treat any unexplained absence as an unauthorised absence. Unauthorised absence means all absence which does not fall into the following categories:
- Illness
- Medical or dental treatment
- Family holiday for which prior permission has been given (a maximum of 10 school days over the academic year)
- Receiving part time education elsewhere
- Days of religious observance
- Exclusion
- Other circumstances authorised by the Headteacher – who has limited discretion to grant leave for exceptional circumstances.
Holidays in term time are not encouraged and must be authorised, in advance, by the Headteacher.Parents and carers who wish to take their child out of school during term time are asked to complete a request form available from the school office.
Parents and carers who have an essential need to withdraw their child during the school day must obtain an absence pass issued by the Local Authority. The pass is available from the school office.
