Absence and Attendance

Absence

What do I do if my Child is Absent?

We know that illness is unavoidable and to be expected but knowing whether pupils are going to be absent from school and the reasons for any absences is an important safeguarding issue for the school.

It is therefore, vitally important that if your child is not going to be in school that you complete the BF Absence Form by 9:30am.
