ABSENCE

Please follow the below guidelines when a child is unable to attend school

  1. On a child's first day of absence, parents are asked to contact the school in order that teachers registers record an "authorised" absence.
  2. Children returning from an absence should bring a letter from their parents confirming the reason for the absence.
  3. Parents who withdraw their children for holidays when school is in session should fill in school pro-forma. Please note, school can only authorise 10 days holiday within school time, any other holidays taken throughout the school year will be registered as unauthorised.
  4. Applications for holidays during May will not be authorised due to yearly SATs/tests.
  5. Children who have to leave the school for dental or doctor appointments should bring to school a letter, signed by a parent or guardian before that appointment.
