Please inform school if your child is going to be absent or late for any reason. This should be done on each day that your child is absent. You may do this by simply telephoning the school, or if this is impossible, by sending a letter or email as soon as possible.

Please arrange medical and dental appointments outside school hours. If this proves impossible, please let the school office know by 10:00am whether your child will be requiring a school dinner. If appointments are taken in school hours, please show your appointment card to the school office so your child will get their attendance mark
