Attendance

If your child is absent (unwell or any other reason) please call the school office on 0117 377 2550 by 9:00am.  

Routine appointments should always be made outside school hours. If your child has an appointment during school hours please be prepared to provide evidence of the appointment, this could be the text, appointment card, letter or prescription.

If your child needs medication (e.g. antibiotics) to be administered during school hours then please complete a form from the school office. A school First Aider will ensure the medicine is administered correctly.

If you need to take your child out of school for any reason during term time an 'Absence Request' form must be completed and handed in to the office no later than 10 days before the planned absence.

In line with government guidance, holidays cannot be authorised. Absence during term time can only be authorised by governors, and only under exceptional circumstances.

For more information about this please read our attendance policy (found in the policy section of this website).
