Late/Absence Procedures

Signing in/out procedure

Any child arriving late to school will have missed the morning registration mark and must be signed in by their parent or carer at the office, giving a reason for the late arrival. Any child who has to leave school during school hours for a medical appointment or similar will need to be signed out. Evidence of appointment is required.

Dental and medical appointments

Parents and carers are asked most earnestly not to arrange these during school sessions, except in cases of urgency, so that considerable interference with school work is avoided. Please do not keep children out of school for the whole day unless absolutely necessary.

In line with Government requirements, we do not authorise any term time holiday requests unless there are exceptional circumstances.

Please see attendance section for more information.
