Student Illness and Absence
Pupil Illness and Absence
Pupils leaving the school premises during normal school hours to visit the doctor, dentist etc. should:
- Show the appointment card, or letter to their form tutor to obtain permission to leave the school
- Show the slip to the office staff and sign out on the appropriate sheet
- Sign in when returning to school
At lunchtime pupils must stay on the school premises. They are not allowed in the village.
Pupil Absence from School
Parents should inform the school on the first day of absence.
If no telephone call is received on the first morning of absence the Pastoral Administrator will ring home.
A note must be brought and given to the form tutor to explain any absence from school.
Pupils must inform tutors of any change of address immediately it is known.
Tutors must then pass this information on to the Pupil Support Team and the main office.
Please note, permission for holidays during term time will only be given in EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES. If no permission is granted by the school the absence will be unauthorised and parents will receive a fixed penalty fine of £50 if they are absent for 10 school days.
