Attendance
How do you report an absence?
For an unexpected absence please call school on 0121 454 0895 explaining why your daughter cannot attend school.
If you have not made contact the pastoral administrator will phone or send a message to request a reason for absence.
Requests for Leave of Absence (e.g., Medical or Dental appointments)
Parents must request any planned leave of absence in advance from the Headteacher by emailing [email protected]
In line with DfE rules, leaves of absence will only be granted for exceptional circumstances at the discretion of the Headteacher. The school does not operate a blanket policy that automatically grants leaves of absence.
