Pupil Absence and Sickness

Absences
If, for any reason, a child is absent from school, the school should be informed of the reason for absence immediately by telephone (01733 252332) and in writing when the child returns.

If your child needs to leave school during school hours a responsible adult must meet the child at school. There is a signing in and out book in the main foyer which should be completed. Please let us know in writing, or by telephone, of such arrangements, as we are responsible for the children in our care and cannot allow them out of school without this authority.

Sickness
If your child becomes ill at school we will inform you immediately. All parents are asked to update their contact details at the start of each academic year.

Medicines
We are unable to administer medicines but we can oversee children who take regular medicines and are able to administer the drugs themselves. (We will need a letter of consent outlining the medication to be taken e.g. inhalers etc.)

All staff receive regular first-aid training.
