Absences
In the event of a student’s absence you should
inform the school office by telephone on a
daily basis. This should be followed by a note
of explanation in the student planner when the
student returns to school.
If a long absence seems likely we may be able to
arrange for home study. We also require a note
if parents wish their child to leave the premises
during normal school hours.
Our Attendance Officer is Mrs Humphries who
you can contact through the School Reception.
