Reporting a Student’s Absence
Please report all absences for all students to our dedicated absence line, each day the student is absent - 01283 376751.

Request Forms
Please submit all absence requests using the links below
You must provide documents to support the reason for absence e.g. proof of travel, exam or competition confirmation.
Headteachers are unable to authorise Leave of Absence in Term Time unless the reasons for this are deemed to be exceptional.
Leave of absence, which is deemed not to be exceptional, or is not applied for prior to the absence being taken, is classed as Unauthorised Leave of Absence.
