Parent Zone

Parents and carers can find below a variety of useful information about the day to day of the school.

It is your responsibility as parents to ensure that your child/children attend school regularly.

For the safety of all children it is important for you to telephone the school office prior to/at

the beginning of the absence.

Absences are recorded in class registers and frequent or irregular absences not supported

by a reasonable excuse, will be notified to parents and the matter will be referred t our partner agencies .

If possible please, try to make dental/medical appointments outwith school hours.

However, if this is not possible please inform us in writing or by telephone of the

appointment and arrange to collect your child from class.
