Absence Reporting, Mobile Phones & Lost Property

Absence Reporting

If your child is ill you can report their absence either by ringing or emailing the school office, you are able to leave a message on the absence extension.

Sickness and Diarrhoea – 48 Hour Absence Policy

We have a 48 hour absence period for sickness and / or diarrhoea in order to minimise the spread to other children and also staff. Please do not send your child back to school until they have been clear for 48 hours from the last occurance, even if they appear fit and well.

Leave of Absence Requests

If you need to request that your child is absent from school please email or speak to the school office.

You may be required to complete a Leave of Absence Request Form. Leave of absence for holidays in term time cannot be granted unless there are exceptional circumstances.

Mobile Phones

Mobile phones, Iwatches and all other communication devices are brought into school by children are to be handed into the school office for safe keeping during the school day. We would advise that only the older children in Year 5 / 6 may need to bring a mobile phone to school.

Lost Property

We ask that all items of clothing, including PE kits, are labelled with your child’s name. Un-named lost property is kept in school for a half – term period before it is sent for recycling. Please ask at the school office for lost property.
