Attendance
It is essential that all pupils attend school and are punctual, ready to begin their fun day of learning. However we recognise that there are times when your child is ill and needs to remain at home to rest and recover. Children often have coughs and sniffles and its difficult to determine whether they should be at school. Using the NHS website will give you advice. Is my child too ill for school? - NHS (www.nhs.uk) . If your child is too ill to attend school please contact the school office giving details. School will contact parents if we haven't heard.
