We have noticed that there has been an increase in the number of children leaving before the end of
the school day to attend medical or dental appointments; this is having an adverse impact on their learning. While we accept it is not possible to schedule all appointments outside school hours, we would be grateful if parents could do everything possible to request appointments at those times. If this is not possible, please let the office know in advance – at the latest, before school on the day of the appointment. We will then provide you with a letter that the doctor/dentist can sign or stamp to confirm that you attended an appointment at that time. If you do not notify us in advance, then your child may be involved in a learning activity that they cannot be released from.
Thank you for working with us in ensuring that children receive the maximum possible learning time.
