Attendance 2022

What to do if your child is absent from the academy

It is YOUR responsibility to phone on the first day of absence on 01622 755960 option 1 leaving your child’s name, class and reason for absence or email clo@oaksprimaryacademy.org.uk.

This needs to be done every day by 9.30am. If contact is not made with you regarding your child’s absence then we will mark this as an unauthorised absence in the Register and this will be monitored by the school’s Community Liaison Officer.

The following reasons are examples of the kinds of absence that will not be authorised:

Absence of siblings if one child is ill
Oversleeping
Inadequate clothing/uniform
Confusion over school dates
Medical/dental appointments of more than half a day without very good reasons
Child’s/family birthday
Shopping trip

If your child arrives at school after 9.00am they will receive a late mark. If they arrive after 9.30am they will receive an unauthorised late mark which if any more than 10 of these are reached a penalty notice will be issued.

Leave of Absence during Term Time

Parents are requested not to take their children on holiday during term time. It is not possible to permit holidays during term time and will be recorded as unauthorised absence.
