If my child is poorly, how do I inform the school?
- All absences must be reported before 8.50am each day, using our dedicated absence line 0207 328 3434, option 1. Please leave your child’s first and last name, their tutor group and the reason for their absence clearly on the answering machine.
- If you know your child is going to be absent, please let us know in advance.
- Written notification, giving the details of all absences, must be given to the Attendance Officer/Pastoral Year Coordinator on your child’s return to school. If your child has been absent due to a medical appointment, please bring in a copy of the appointment card/hospital letter or the screen shot from your mobile phone.
- Unexplained absences will be unauthorised by the school.
- Absences of 5 or more days must be supported by medical evidence. The aim is to prepare students for progression to Key Stage 4, further education or employment. Absence of 5 or more days without supporting medical evidence will not be authorised.
- Holidays during term time will not be authorised.
- Any form of unauthorised absence may be subject to a Fixed Penalty Notice from the Local Authority or a Referral for Early Help Intervention.
