Reporting Absences 

If your child is absent from school for any reason please ensure that you text us on 0786 000 3686 to inform us of their absence. Please use this option first before telephoning as it is often very busy in the mornings and you may get an engaged tone for some time.

This should be done before 10am on the day of absence. A note must also be provided on your child’s return to school. If your child does not register at school and we do not hear from you before 10am, a member of office staff will telephone you to find out the reason for your child’s absence. If we cannot get you on the phone we will send an email or text.
