Good school attendance is a key expectation at Park Primary School. All children should have attendance of at least 96%.
If your child is too unwell to attend school, please contact the office before 9.30am to inform us of the reason they are absent.
If you are unsure about whether your child should come to school, the NHS have some useful guidance regarding common childhood illness and ailments;
Absence not due to Illness
If you wish to take your child out of school for a reason other than illness, a request for leave form should be completed and given to the school office. Forms are available via the school office.
Leave will only be authorised in exceptional circumstances. Lower cost of holidays are not considered an exceptional circumstance. Parents and carers should be aware that unauthorised absences may result in a penalty fine being issued or other legal action taken.
