Regular attendance is important, and absence should be restricted to the unavoidable. It is a legal requirement that schools keep accurate records of student attendance. Absence due to illness All parents are requested to contact the school office in the morning if your son or daughter is unable to attend school due to an illness. If the absence affects subsequent days, then please contact us in the morning. Request for absence Request for absence must be given advance in writing. The headteacher will approve or deny request for absence on a case-to-case basis. Please note: Holidays should be booked during school holidays. Authorised & Unauthorised Absence The law requires that all schools must show the difference between authorised and unauthorised absence. Examples of absence which would be authorised by the school are: Sickness Medical or dental appointments which cannot be arranged outside school hours Exceptional circumstances such as bereavement Examples of absence which we would regard as unauthorised are: Truancy Staying at home to look after younger children or sick relatives Birthdays Resting after a late night Relatives visiting or visiting relatives Any absence about which the school has not been informed by letter and approved Lateness: Students are expected to come to school on time. All lates are recorded and managed by the attendance & punctuality manager.
