Useful forms and information

Pupil Absence
 
All absence requests must be sent to the school office on a "absence form" which can be downloaded below or by contacting the school office.
 
Mrs Dundas our Learning Mentor will review all absence requests.
 
If your child is ill please leave a message on the school phone. Please confirm your name, your child's name and class and the reason for their absence.
 
Please see below some useful guidance from the NHS in relation to dealing with childhood absences.

Walking home alone
 
Attached is our policy in relation to children in Years 5 and 6 being able to walk home alone.
 
Please can all completed permission slips be returned to your child's class teacher or the school office.
 
We would recommend that you consider the NSPCC guidance when deciding if your child is ready to walk home alone.
