Child Attendance

• When a child is unwell, parents should complete this form by 8am on the day of absence to report that your child will not be in school
• Every effort should be made to arrange medical appointments outside school hours.
• If your child needs to attend a medical appointment during school hours, please complete this form
• If it is necessary for a child to be out of school for this reason, the child should be returned to school directly after the appointment.

The school recognises that pupil absence during term time can seriously disrupt a pupil’s continuity of learning.  Parents are therefore strongly urged to avoid booking a family holiday in term time.

• Parents should apply in advance to withdraw pupils from school for a holiday
• No more than one period of holiday of no more than five (5) days in any academic year can be authorised
• Holidays are not authorised in September or May or the first and last week of each term

To request a holiday during term time, you will need to complete our Application for Leave of Absence form School form. When an absence is authorised, parents will be provided with written permission. 

• Once school has started, your class teacher will not let you enter the classroom without providing a Late Slip
• Children must report to reception to sign in the late book so that we are aware that they are attending school
• They will be escorted to class by a member of staff and be given a late slip which will be handed to the class teacher. 
• Your child must be ‘registered’ as attending each day in case of a fire or emergency.
• Lateness is monitored by the Headteacher and the KHDA.
