Child Absence Due to Illness
If your child is unable to attend school you must report absence before 8.45am on the first day and each subsequent day of absence. Absences must be emailed to attendance@laconchildeschool.co.uk or a phone message left on 01299270312, option 1. (There is no functionality in Arbor to report absence)
Request for Authorisation of Absence During Term Time
Parents wishing the school to consider authorising an absence should make any request in advance, please ask the School Office for the Pupil Leave of Absence in Term Time form, then complete and return to the office.
The request must be received by the school at least four weeks before the proposed absence. This is to allow sufficient time for appropriate consideration.
Please note that there is no automatic right to any holiday during term time and the Local Authority and school policy is that family holidays should not be taken in term time.
Should you decide to take your child out of school the absence will be recorded as unauthorised which may result in a truancy penalty notice of £60 (rising to £120) per parent per child being issued.
