If your child is absent due to illness, please notify us as soon as possible on the first day of absence, by 8.00am where possible.

You can report your child's absence by texting the absence line on 07860054246, on the Parent Mail app or by telephoning the school on 01202 692700 and choosing option 1. Please ensure that you give a reason for their absence, their name and class. 

Please keep your child home for 48 hours after they have been sick and/or have had diarrhoea. 

If your child is taking antibiotics, we only administer these at school when the dose is 4 times a day or 3 times a day, and they have a club after school. Please come to the office and complete a medical form and provide the medicine in its original container labelled with your child's name. 

Further information can be found in our First Aid and Medical Conditions Policy.
