In an effort to make it easier for parents to notify us of a child’s absence, we have now launched a new Absence Reporting Telephone Line.  If your child is going to be absent from school, please now phone this Absence Line on:

 

 

Please leave your child’s name, year group, the reason for the absence and, if possible, how long you expect them to be absent.  The office will pick up all of the messages and mark attendance accordingly.

 

You can still also use the Parents Portal to notify us of any absence, and in fact, this has proven to be a very popular method of letting us know of a pupil’s absence.  If you haven’t already registered for this, and would like to do so, please contact the office who can get you set up.

 

We are hoping that the new attendance line will free up the main office telephone number in the mornings and avoid parents having to call back if the lines are busy.

 

Thank you for assisting us with this slight change to procedure.
