Late arriving or absent pupils

Please ensure that your child arrives at school on time. We understand that children may be late because of medical or other appointments on occasions. If your child does arrive late to school they must be brought to the main office to be registered.

If your child is going to be absent please contact us by 8:50am. You can telephone 0121 464 4494 and select Option 1 (available 24 / 7) or visit the office atfter 8:00am to let us know why your child is absent.

If your child has an upcoming medical or other appointment please bring the appointment letter to the school office before the day that your child will be absent from or late for school.

Children that are being collected from school during the school day are signed out by a member of staff and by yourselves.

Parents and Carers are strongly discouraged from taking holidays during term time. They can be disruptive to a child’s education. If a request for a term time absence is to be made please complete a Request for Absence form (available from the school office) at the earliest possible opportunity with details explaining the request. Requests are considered by the Headteacher.
