C O N TA C T B O O K 2 0 1 0 - 2 0 1 1 How to support your child through Secondary School Making Contact with Staff We welcome contact from parents. The aim is to give maximum support to all the school community. We want to work in partnership and, even where there are difficulties, we seek to be available to discuss them with you. However, teachers are busy people and are not available to see parents without notice. Please do not turn up at school without an appointment (except for the Headteacher’s surgery); phone first to make an appointment. We will normally undertake to reply within 24 hours. You should contact your child’s form tutor in the first instance, and for more important issues relating to curriculum, school rules etc., contact your child’s Director of Studies. The following chart may help. Need for Contact Absence from school Medical appointments, general information, minor queries. Important issues relating to curriculum, examinations, school rules and regulations. Very serious matters, or matters not resolved by contacting other staff, non-school issues. Whom to Contact Telephone 020-8555-3834 or email to info@forestgate.newham.sch.uk on the morning of the first day of absence. Write to your child’s tutor or telephone 020-8534-8666. You can also send an email to info@forestgate.newham.sch.uk. Have your child’s full name, year group and tutor group ready. Office staff will give a message to your child’s Form Tutor. The tutor will ring you back to make an appointment to meet if necessary. Write to your child’s Director of Studies or telephone 020-8534-8666. You can also send an email to info@forestgate.newham.sch.uk. Have your child’s full name and tutor group ready. Office staff will take a message for your child’s Director of Studies, who will contact you as soon as possible. Come to the Headteacher’s surgery most Tuesdays from 5.30 – 7pm. (See Forest Gate News each week for any changes). There is no need to make an appointment. A few helpful tips • Free school meal entitlement must be renewed every 6 months. • Do not send your child to school with large sums of money; s/he should only carry the amount of • money s/he requires for the day. • PLEASE NOTE THAT THE SCHOOL DOES NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGE OR • LOSS OF VALUABLE ELECTRONIC ITEMS. 116
C O N TA C T B O O K 2 0 1 0 - 2 0 1 1 What to do if… I want to take my child on holiday during school time TERM-TIME HOLIDAYS-THE FACTS We recognise that it is often expensive to take a holiday during school breaks and that is why some parents may ask for term-time leave for their child. However it is important that parents carefully consider the implications of taking their child out of school during term-time. Research suggests that children who are taken out of school may never catch up on coursework they have missed. This may affect test results and can be particularly harmful if the child is studying for final examinations. THE LAW The law says that parents do not have the right to take their child out of school for holidays during term-time. In exceptional circumstances, however, schools can allow parents to take up to ten days in an academic year. If a child then stays away from school for more than ten days this will be recorded as unauthorised leave. The school may also decide to take the child off roll unless there is a good reason for the continued absence, such as illness. In these circumstances the parent must tell the school about the reason for the continued absence as soon as possible. THE DECISION When deciding whether to allow term-time leave, consideration is given to the following: ✱ The child's age ✱ The time and duration of the leave ✱ The child's attendance record ✱ Previous term-time leave. WHAT YOU SHOULD CONSIDER There are times during an academic year when a child may experience particular problems because of term-time leave, such as: ✱ During the end of Key Stage 3 in Year 9 ✱ During GCSE and other examination courses ✱ During the first year at a new School ✱ At the beginning of a new academic term. If the school refuses a request for term-time leave and the child is still taken out of school this will be recorded as an unauthorised absence. NB. Forest Gate Community School strongly recommends that students DO NOT take holidays during term -time. 117
