Attendance matters!

Parents and carers have the legal responsibility to ensure that a child attends school regularly and arrives on time. Absence taken during the school term can have a negative impact on a child’s education.

​

Parents/Guardians must call each day to inform us of any absence.  If you have any queries then please email chcs_attendance@coltonhills.co.uk

​

Lateness

All pupils need to be onsite by 8:20am, pupil lateness is not acceptable. Persistent lateness will be monitored.

​

Medical Appointments

We require all medical and dental appointments to be arranged outside of school hours. Should there be ongoing medical appointments or the need for time off due to a medical issue then a letter stating this from a medical professional is required.

​

Without the appropriate notice and documentation, children will not be allowed to leave school for appointments. We require at least 48 hours notice (unless it is a medical emergency) and a copy of the appointment card/hospital letter must be brought into school.

​

For all other planned absences you are required to complete a leave of absence form on the last page of the document below.  Please contact the Attendance Officer if you have any further queries.
