Please complete this brief form every day your daughter/son is absent from school.  Please send it by 8am. You do not need to phone school in addition to this. We are very keen for all students to attend school whenever possible.  If your daughter/son is feeling a bit **'under the weather'** but could cope in school, please email her/his Head of Year or Student Support Manager to advise, and request an 'under the weather' sticker so that she/he can sit quietly in the lesson and not necessarily be an 'active' learner for the day, but not miss out.  Thank you for your support. Please note, for any **appointments**, eg medical, an appointment card (or confirmation email/text) giving the date, time and length of the appointment and address of the surgery etc is needed, in order to consider authorisation.
