Late/Absence Procedures

All children will inevitably have some time off school due to one illness or another.  When your child is ill, please telephone school as soon as possible, so that the class teacher may be informed of the reason for absence.

Below is a list of common ailments and the accepted periods of exclusion from school. For any other diseases or medical conditions the Headteacher or your Family doctor will be able to advise.

If your child is taken ill whilst at school or is involved in an accident, we will get in touch with you, or the emergency contact as indicated on your pupil information sheet.

It is important the details on the Admissions Card are kept up to date, so please inform the school immediately of any changes of telephone numbers or emergency contacts etc.

MEDICALS:

Every Reception child will have a medical during their first year at school. Parents are contacted by letter and invited to attend the examination conducted by the School doctor and School Nurse appointed for the area. During subsequent years, reviews are made of any children who have had problems highlighted by previous medicals.

To report a pupil absence, submit the message below providing your child's name, class and reason for absence, or phone the school office (01772 423767), press '1' and leave a message.
