When reporting an absence, please provide your child’s full name, year group, and reason for absence. If your child is absent for three or more consecutive days, parents may self-certify for the first day; however, a medical certificate must be submitted from the second day onwards.
Authorised absences include illness (with a medical certificate), approved family emergencies, or official government appointments. Unauthorised absences include travel during term time, repeated unexplained absences, or non-medical reasons. All unauthorised absences are recorded in line with ADEK systems and guidelines.
