What to do if your child is absent
If you know your child is going to be absent from school, you should:
- - Where possible, ring school at the earliest opportunity to let them know
- - Send a note to school explaining the reason for the absence(in advance if possible, eg: if your child has a doctors appointment)
Please note: School will contact parents if they are in any doubt as to the whereabouts of a child.
