In order to maintain accurate attendance records and ensure the health and safety of all students, all parents/carers must following the guidance below.

 

For ALL absences you must:

  • ALL absence/late calls should be made by the legal guardian, should we suspect otherwise, an investigation will commence and further action will be taken
  • Failure to adhere to any of the above will result in your child’s absence being recorded as unauthorised absence
