Late/Absence Procedures

Lates

It is important your child(ren) are on time for school everyday. If your child misses the start of the day they can miss work and do not spend time with their class teacher getting vital information and news for the day. Late arriving pupils also disrupt lessons, can be embarrassing for the child and can also encourage absence.

The school gate opens at 8.35am. Registers are taken at 8.50am

Please ensure all pupils are in class before 8.50am to be marked on the register.

If your child(ren) arrive at school at 8.50am or later, they will be marked late. You must accompany them to the school office to sign them in and give a reason for being late.

Requesting Absence

Absence during term time can only be authorised at the Headteacher’s discretion and only in exceptional circumstances.

If you need to request some time for your child/ren to be absent during term time please ask at the office for a Leave in Term Time Request Form.

If you wish to make an appointment to discuss the circumstances of your request for authorised absence please do so via the school office – 0121 464 5813 and ask for a request form. This will need to be completed and signed by both parents/carers or whoever has parental responsibility.

You can ask to make an appointment with Mrs Grice who will be able to advise you.
