Absence from School
Parents are asked to telephone the school (01452 526442) or text (07385 112726) to explain every absence. Parents are legally obliged to make a written Absence Request for permission for a child to be absent from school during term-time for, for example, medical or dental appointments. If the school has concerns about pupils’ attendance, the School Attendance Lead will follow these up.
If a child becomes ill at school we must be able to contact parents, or another emergency contact, and so it is important that parents keep us up to date with changes in telephone numbers, contacts etc.
Should a child become ill during school they will be referred to a qualified first aider. Parents will be asked to collect their child from school if necessary if the pupil cannot access learning.
If your child has a tummy bug such as vomiting or diarrhea, in this case, children should be clear of symptoms for 48 hours before they return to school.
School can administer both prescribed and non-prescribed medication with appropriate written instructions from parents. If you wish your child to be administered non-prescribed medication please complete this form
Where your child receives regular or emergency medication, consent for administration will be given annually when you complete the consent form.
Where a first aider has been in attendance to your child during the school day an email will be sent advising you of this.
