Please note that it is parents’ responsibility to notify school if your child is going to be absent. If your child is not in school and we do not receive any communication from you, we will endeavour to make contact with you on the first day of absence. Your child will be marked as ‘N’ (not present) at this point. If we do not receive any reason for absence within 5 days, the code on the register will be changed to an O (unauthorised absence.) Please note that ten sessions (5 days) of unauthorised absence within a 10-week period can result in a referral to the Local Authority and the issuing of a Penalty Notice Warning, which can include a fine.
