Late/Absence Procedures

 

Procedure for late children:

• Any children arriving late will need to be signed in (using our electronic system) at the School Office.

 

 

Procedure if a child is staying at home because of illness:

• On the first day of absence (and every day afterwards until they return) a parents or carer should notify school by telephone: 0115 978 6351, or text: +441158240163); informing school that their child is absent and giving the reason(s) why - as well as stating what the likely day of return will be.

 

•  If a telephone call or text message is not received, school will contact parents/carers to enquire about their child’s absence. Please provide at least two contacts in case of an emergency.

 

• After three days, if school has still not received any information regarding a child’s absence, we will follow this up with a home visit.
