Attendance

• When your child is ill or will be absent from school, please follow this procedure:

• Contact their Form Tutor and Absences (absenceshabsboysorg.uk) on the day your child is ill. You can do this via the Parent Portal or you can call the Senior School switchboard (020 8266 1700).

• If your child arrives late or leaves early, they must sign in or out of Aldenham House reception.

• If you wish to request absence for religious observance please write to us, giving at least seven days’ notice.

• If possible, doctor and dental appointments should be made during the holidays. If this is not possible, please write to your child’s Form Tutor, asking permission for them to be absent. This is known as an ‘exeat’

• If the planned absence is for more than half a day, please write to Mr Hardman at hardman_t@habsboys.org.uk. If the planned absence is for more than one day, please write to the Headmaster at HM@habsboys.org. uk.

• We request that absences are kept to a minimum.

Sports Fixture Attendance

If you are unable to attend a fixture then please let the Sports Centre Administrator (sportsadmin@habsboys.org.uk) know with at least seven days’ notice. If your child is ill on the day of the game parents should email the Director of Sport or the team coach directly. You are warmly invited to watch as many fixtures as possible.
