Attendance, Absence and Appointments

Attendance Policy

Read the School's Attendance Policy here.

Absence

If your child is too ill to come to School or is late for School you should:

• Telephone or email the School: attendance@chschool.co.uk / 0161 488 3330

• Inform your child’s Form Tutor by email

It is important that you contact us each day until your child returns to School.

If a pupil is not present at School and attendance has not been received via email or telephone call, School will text / email parents.

Requests for Absence

If you wish to request that your child is absent from School for exceptional circumstances please email your request to:

Attendance team – attendance@chschool.co.uk. Your request will then be considered by the Assistant Head.

Appointments

We would request that you avoid making appointments during the School Day, but acknowledge that this is sometimes unavoidable.

If your child does have a medical appointment during the School Day please make a note in their planner detailing the time they will be leaving and returning to School.

Pupils should inform their Form Tutor and their Subject Teacher if they need to leave during a lesson, and then sign out at Main Reception.

Parents/carers should collect pupil from, and return them to, Main Reception via the Claremont Road Entrance.(SK8 6EG).

Parents/carers collecting or dropping off for appointments may park in the visitors spaces.
