Absence & Lateness

If your child is going to be absent from school, please phone the school office on 0208 8807 2458 and let them know the reason for the absence. If it is for a medical appointment, the office may ask to see proof of the appointment (such as a letter or email). If your child arrives at school after 9am, they will be considered late.

High levels of absence and lateness can have a hugely negative effect on children's learning, friendships and behaviour. We encourage all our children to be here on time everyday so they don't miss out on any of their learning time.

Please see below for some statistics on how absence and lateness affects lost learning time.
