Absence and Illness
 |
Absence |
|
|
|
If your child is absent, please notify the school office by telephone or letter. It is important that all absences are accounted for, as any without notification will be regarded as 'unauthorised'. For further guidance please contact the school office. A form requesting permission from the headteacher for absence due to family holiday (maximum two weeks per annum) may also be obtained from the office. |

Medicines |
|
||
|
|||
|
We feel that children who are ill should not be in school. However, if medicine is prescribed and they are well enough to attend school without affecting the health of the other children and staff we are prepared to administer medicine if parents write to the headteacher |

Illness |
|
||
| It
is essential that you keep your child at home if they are ill.
Please do not send them to school if they are unwell, as being at
school will make them feel worse and there are no facilities to
cater for sick children.
If your child has had sickness or diarrhoea, then they must stay at home for 24 hours after the symptoms have ended. If your child becomes ill whilst at school you will be contacted immediately so that you can take him or her home. It is therefore essential that the school has an up to date telephone number and address where you can be contacted. The school should also be given an emergency contact in case you should be unavailable.
