Absence

RequestsFor Absence

Every school day matters! We ask parents to make every possible effort to avoid taking children out of school during term time.

To request an absence, an AbsenceRequest Form must be submitted to the Head Teacher in advance of any planned absence. All requests will be considered against the child's attendance records before permission is granted.

Absences during term time will not be authorised unless there are exceptional reasons why the event cannot happen at any other time. Holidays will not be authorised in term time.

We also ask that, wherever possible, routine medical appointments should be made outside of school hours. If your child has a medical appointment during the school day, please notify us in advance by emailing attendance@gmglt.co.uk and sign your child in or out on the day at the office.

Lateness

The school day begins with registration promptly at 8.50am. We ask that children arrive on time to ensurethat they have a positive start to their day. Please ensure your child is not late for school. Children who arrive late must report to the school officewhere you must sign them in.

Medical Conditions

Any child with a medical condition requiring medication or support in school should have an individual Health Care Plan, which details what support the child needs.

Please click here for a Health Care Plan and return to office@gmglt.co.uk.

Medicines are kept in the school office and where required can be stored in a fridge and collected at the end of the day.
