If you know your child is going to be absent due to a prior commitment we would appreciate a phone call or note before the first day of absence. Otherwise a written note should be sent to the class teacher on the first day back at school. 

A written explanation is needed if the absence is to be lengthy so that a place is retained on the roll.

An answer phone is available 24 hours a day – leaving a message saves our office staff considerable time as we follow up all unexplained absences.
