Attendance & reporting an absence
Report an absence
Child off today? Let us know before 9:15am. It takes under a minute.
It goes straight to the office. Nothing you type is stored online; it's sent securely to the school like an email. Prefer to ring? 01495 364825.
The office has your message
Thank you, there's nothing else you need to do. We hope everyone's feeling better soon.
Why every day matters
Children who come to school regularly do better, academically, socially and in confidence. We work with families, not against them, when attendance is a struggle.
If getting to school every day has become hard for any reason, please talk to us early. There is nearly always something we can do to help. See support for families.
