If your child is off school
Phone the school as early as possible on the first morning of their absence, to give the reason.
Make routine dentist and doctor appointments after school or during holidays. If you have to make an appointment during school time, help your child to be at school for most of the day and let the school know about the appointment. You may be asked for a medical certificate or appointment card if your child is regularly absent due to illness or dental/medical appointments.
Holidays in term time are not normally authorised. In exceptional circumstances, ask permission from the headteacher and check the school policy.
