Lateness/Absence
All pupil absences should be reported to the school office via telephone (01302 743145) or via message to school dojo no later than 8:45am each morning of a child's absence. Absences can be recorded on the Arbor app.
If a pupil arrives after 8:45am they will be given a late mark in the register.
If a message concerning a child's absence has not been made by 9:00am the school will attempt to contact parents via telephone to establish the reason for a child's absence. If the school has not received confirmation of a child's absence by 9:30am further action will be considered and staff from the safeguarding team will asses the need for further contact. This may include a home visit by school staff, referral to children’s social care or a request that the Police conduct a welfare check.
