Absence
If your child is going to be absent from school, please ensure that you ring the school office to notify us of this, each morning of absence. The school office number is: 01332 572154
Illness at School
Should your child become ill at school, we have staff trained in First Aid and Paediatric First Aid. Parents are contacted if the sickness prohibits the child from learning.
It is therefore important that the school is notified quickly of any change in telephone numbers / addresses.
