Quick Attendance Guide

  ILLNESS

· If your child is unwell, you must report this on the Arbor app. Click the 3 lines on top left Attendance - Summary and Log absence on top right or call the school office and leave us a message on 0208 959 6033 option 2. Please tell us your child’s name, class and the details of their illness.

Absences must be reported before 8:00am

Please DO NOT use the words “sick” or “not well”, failure to provide details of the illness will result in an unauthorised absence.

· Nursery - Year 2 Temperature, Vomiting or diarrhoea = No school for 48 hour

· Year 3 -  Year 6 Temperature, Vomiting or diarrhoea = No school for 24 hours 

· If your child’s attendance falls below the excepted percentage, evidence may be requested going forward and they will be placed on a “Watch list” which is monitored by the Education Welfare Officer from Barnet.

  LATENESS

· School starts at 8:30am. Children need to be seated in class before registration starts at 8:40am.

· If your child arrives at 8:40am or after, you MUST sign them in late with the office so we know they are safely in school.

 ·Children who are collected late may incur a £10 late fee.

 Absence Request

· Holidays/Trips must NOT be taken in term time, ONLY during school holidays. Barnet now expect us to fine parents if they take their children out of school during term time. Fines can also now be issued for unauthorised absences, they start from £80 per parent, per child and go up to £160 per parent, per child. Fines double in price if not paid within 21 days.

SCHOOL POLICY

 Medical evidence must be provided for absences taken 3 days before or after a school holiday.
