| Illness and absence from school
A guide for parents and carers
EVERY SCHOOL DAY COUNTS!
We expect you to…
- contact the school to let us know if and why your child is unable to attend that day
- keep in contact with the school if the period of absence is longer than 2 days
- if you are unable to contact the school on the day of absence, write a note in your child’s planner and ask them to bring it to the Hub
- if your child has to leave early/arrive late for medical appointments please put a note in their planner. Please try and make these appointments at the beginning or end of the day so your child can still attend school on that day.
- please inform us of any ongoing medical conditions or ongoing concerns you may have. We want your child to be comfortable and happy in school
