Attendance at School
How Do I Report My Child Absent?
If your child is absent from school, please contact the school office by either emailing absence@warrenderschool.co.uk , on the form below or call the school on 01895 462355 and select the option for reporting your child absent. Please leave a message clearly stating your child's name and the reason for absence. Messages must be left before 8:30am. This is especially important if your child is in Year 5 & 6 and walks to school.

Vomiting and Sickness Advice
If the reason for absence is sickness/vomiting/stomach upset, please note that we follow the Health Protection Agency guidelines which advise exclusion from school for 48 hours after the last sickness/vomiting/stomach upset incident. This is to try to prevent cross infection as much as possible.
Request for Authorised Leave of Absence
The law does not grant parents an automatic right to take their child out of school during term time. If the request is for an absence in term time, you must have parental responsibility and be the parent with whom the child normally lives. Permission must be sought in advance (1 month) and must be for exceptional circumstances. Please complete an Authorised leave form below and email it to office@warrenderschool.co.uk or hand in a hard copy.

- If leave isn't authorised, a penalty notice may be issued by the local authority.
