If my child is absent from school, what can I expect to happen?

On the first day of your child’s absence you will receive a phone call or text mesage from the school to ask you to explain your child’s absence, if you have not already contacted the school.

If your child’s absences are more frequent, you should expect to receive a letter informing you of your child’s attendance level.

If your child’s absence is unacceptable or at a significantly low level you could be asked to attend a meeting in school to discuss support appropriate to your child.
