IMPORTANT INFORMATION
When your child/ren is absent from school, it is school policy that the absence is reported on the FIRST day of absence.
It is reported using the absence line which is OPTION 1 when calling school. We have a number or parents who are pressing option 2, which directs the call to the office and reporting the absence to office staff rather than Mrs Thompson (Attendance and Safeguarding Officer).
When reporting an absence you MUST follow the directions below:
1️⃣ Call the school on the FIRST day of absence – 0191 4201710
2️⃣ Press OPTION 1 to leave a voicemail
3️⃣ State your child’s FULL NAME and YEAR GROUP
4️⃣ The reason for your child’s absence
If we require any additional information OR the information you have provided is not sufficient, Mrs Thompson will contact you via telephone.
Any phone calls regarding absences to the main office will not be accepted and you will need to call back to leave a message on the attendance line.
Thank you for your co operation.
