Late/Absence Procedures

The school register closes at 9.00am.  If you are late, you must report to the main school office and sign your child in.

In the event of illness please call 01228 558774 as soon as possible to inform school that your child will be absent and to give a reason.

Below is guidance for parents and carers if your child is unwell and signs and symptons to look out for.

Absence Request Form

Please be aware that government legislation now states that holidays are not permitted during term time. These will only be granted in exceptional circumstances.

If you wish to take your child out of school during term time, please complete the form below, or you can collect one from the school office.

You can face legal and financial sanctions if your child fails to attend school. A fixed penalty notice is £160. This amount will reduce to £80 if paid within 21 days. If your child still does not attend school an Education Supervision Order is issued by the family court and can lead to prosecution in a Magistrates' court. You can face legal and financial sanctions if your child fails to attend school.
