ILLNESS AND LATENESS PROCEDURE In the event of your child arriving late, there is no need to telephone, please go to the School Office when you arrive so that your child can be registered. Should your child need to leave the school premises for an appointment or any other reason during the course of the school day, please go to the main office to sign out and sign in again on your return, if appropriate. Should your child be unwell and unable to attend school, please fill in the absence request form on the Parent Portal: https://my.stroud-kes.org.uk/login or text on 07520 631361 (please include your child’s full name and class at start of the message) or phone on 01794 513231 in the morning. Please refer to the chart (on the opposite page) advising length of absence for more common illnesses. It is helpful to know why your child is ill to enable us to look for similar symptoms in other children. A very useful resource is The NHS Healthier Together website https://what0-18.nhs.uk/.
ABSENCE/LEAVE REQUEST PROCEDURE We strongly recommend that pupils do not miss school for reasons other than illness or attending a family funeral. Please plan holidays within the school holiday dates, which are published in the school calendar and are on the Parent Portal.
Any request for absence other than illness should be requested using the leave request form on the Parent Portal: https://my.stroud-kes.org.uk/login. If request for leave is less than 14 days in advance, please email: secretary@stroud-kes.org.uk.
