• Attendance: Reporting a student absence – please call the attendance line (and leave a voicemail) or use the MyEd app to send a text message. Please report students absent daily before 8.30am.

Medical appointments - With the updated guidance around ‘lates’ and ‘late arrivals’ after the registers closes, we would like to offer some advice around appointments during the school day.
- Where possible please schedule appointments outside of school hours,
- If arranging a morning appointment, it is suggested that your child attends school to gain their registration mark at 8.40am (and then signs out straight after this),
- If arranging an afternoon appointment, it is suggested that your child signs out after 12.45pm so they have gained their afternoon registration mark.
