It is really important that the children attend school regularly.      Even just a few days missed will have an impact on your child's learning.

However, if your child is ill then they should stay at home.    If you have had sickness or diarrhoea you should keep your child off school for 48 hours.

If your child is not able to attend school, it is really important that you telephone the school office on 0208 393 2417.    Please leave a message with:

• Your child's name
• Their class
• Why they are absent from school (including details of any illness)
• Whether they have a school dinner or packed lunch.

Holiday requests during term time

Holiday requests during term time are rarely authorised.     There are 13 weeks holiday during the year, and we urge parents to book holidays during our School Holidays.

If you are going to take a holiday during term time, you must write in advance, to our Chair of Governors, with details of your holiday.
