If you have reported a student absence, do not be surprised to receive a call from the Attendance Team or your child’s learning mentor. Attendance calls are made daily to follow up on absences and offer support where needed.
It can be tricky deciding whether or not to keep your child off school when they’re unwell.
There are government guidelines for schools and nurseries about health protection and managing specific infectious diseases at GOV.UK. These say when children should be kept off school and when they shouldn’t.
