There are 3 things you can do to help:

1. We understand that children do get genuinely ill, and when this happens, they should stay at home to recover. However, your child can come to school if they are experiencing the following:

• Minor colds or sniffles

• Headaches (unless severe)

• Feeling 'a bit tired'

2. Avoid term-time holidays

• Plan family holidays during school breaks

• Term-time absence can only be authorised in exceptional circumstances  

3. Medical appointments

• Try to book appointments outside school hours when possible

• If this isn't possible, bring your child to school before/after the appointment

If you're experiencing difficulties getting your child to school, or have concerns about their attendance, please don't hesitate to contact us. We're here to help and can offer support.
