A - Z ATTENDANCE

If your daughter is ill and cannot attend school please telephone the School Office by 8.45 am on the morning she is ill. Please follow this up with an email explaining the reason for absence to the school office.

You will appreciate that regular, punctual attendance is essential for continuity of learning. Please arrange holidays during the school holidays so work is not missed. When absence cannot be avoided (eg medical treatment or performance in teams) we will support students as they catch up on work they have missed. Special requests for any kind of absence from school should be made in writing to the Head's office (scafferkey@wgsf.net) and the Director at least two days in advance.

We use a registration system so we know who is in school. If a student is not marked present during registration, and there has been no message left at the School Office, parents will be contacted by a member of our School Office staff.

We do on rare occasions allow girls to leave School early to attend appointments. Requests to collect a child before the end of the school day must be made to the Director of Junior Section in writing.
