If you need to report your child absent from school you must do so by 9.15am on the day of absence.  Please report your child as absent via one of the following:

• ParentMail
• Calling the school office absence line by 9.15am (Main school phone line - option 1)

If we have not heard from you on the first day of your child’s absence you will receive a message to call the school so we can ascertain the reason for absence.

Please follow the below links for useful information on illnesses and the expectation to attend school.

Breakfast Club is run by the school and opens Monday to Friday at 7:30 am. Details and agreement can be found on the below link:

Breakfast Club

The YMCA operates our after-school wrap around provision from 3:15 to 6:00pm. The cost of the club is £13.40 per session and includes a snack as well as a light tea. For families that book 5 days a week, a 10% discount will apply.

To book a place please call the YMCA directly 01245 355677.

We ask all parents / carers to ensure they are ready to receive their child at 3:15pm or at the agreed finishing time after a school club. Children who are left behind often feel an increasing level of anxiety and distress the longer that they are unsure of where their parents/carers are. Clearly this is not a good thing to happen to any child. The impact on the school of having a child left at the end of the day is also great as it requires a member of the support staff to supervise that child and this incurs an additional staffing cost. Parents who are persistently late to collect their child will be charged at a cost of £7 per half hour.

If a child becomes ill or is injured during the school day, the school will attempt to contact a parent. 

If children are suffering from sickness and diarrhoea they must be kept at home for 48 hours after the final bout of sickness

Children that require regular medication in school e.g. Asthma Pumps will require a health care plan - please contact the school office for further details on this.

All prescribed medicines are kept in the school office and a register of any dosage taken is recorded.  School staff are only permitted to administer medication to children during the school day if it has been prescribed by a doctor and the relevant consent form has been completed by a parent/guardian. 

For Antibiotics, if medication is prescribed for three times a day, we expect this to be managed at home.  If the dose is for four times a day, the school office can administer this once during the school day.  Please complete the 'Parental Agreement to administer medicine' form below and bring to the office with the medication. 

Please be aware that holidays during term time will NOT be authorised.

If your request for absence is due to exceptional circumstances, please complete the 'Application for leave of absence during term time' form below and return to the school office in advance of the dates required.
