From; Ms Goddard, EMA & Attendance Officer If you have a GP, Dental or Medical appointment, please ensure that you send in an official appointment card or headed letter, saying when and where the appointment was. In an emergency you can ask the receptionist at the medical centre to provide this. We need to have a copy of this for our records. Try to book appointments for after school; but, if this is not possible, the student should return to school after the appointment. You do not need to lose a whole day of schooling for a morning or afternoon appointment. When your child is absent, you will be contacted by Truant call. This may be annoying but it done for your child's safety, to ensure that students off sick one day cannot truant the following day. If you wish to query a Truant call, please contact the Attendance Officer using option 1 on the automated phone selection. You should also report any absence to the Attendance Officer as soon as possible, using option 1 on the automated phone selection.
