Illness and Attendance

We understand that children will sometimes become unwell and need time at home to recover. Our priority is always to ensure that children are well enough to return to school and that we minimise the spread of illness within our school community.

If your child is unwell, please let the school know as soon as possible and provide a reason for their absence.

For guidance on how long your child should remain at home following a particular illness or infection, please contact the school office. We will be happy to provide you with the most up-to-date advice.

Attendance matters

Every school day matters. Regular attendance is essential for your child's learning, friendships, wellbeing and wider development.

Please visit our Attendance page for important information about attendance, including our expectations, procedures and support for families.

You can also find our current Attendance Policy and other school policies on our Policies page.

If you are worried about your child's attendance or are experiencing difficulties that may be affecting their ability to attend school regularly, please speak to us. We are here to help.
