Pupil Absence Procedure
Please see the information provided by the NHS - 'Is my child too ill for school?
REPORTING ABSENCE
If your child is off sick we would ask that you please notify the school as soon as possible on the first day of absence of your child.
This can be done by telephoning the office and leaving a message on the selected option on the answer phone (before 8:30) or speaking to a member of the office staff after 8:30.

PLANNED ABSENCE FROM SCHOOL
If you know in advance that your child is going to be absent please download a form using the link on this page and forward this to the school office (either printed hard copy or by email) to office@barrowhall.co.uk prior to their period of absence.
Please note that in, accordance with Local Authority guidelines, all holiday absence is now treated as unauthorised absence and will be recorded as such.
