Dear Friends around Severn Loop,

If you are planning on taking your child out of school for 1 day or more, a ‘Leave of Absence’ form MUST be completed and returned to school prior to the date of the absence. A child’s absence will only be authorised in exceptional circumstances.

A form is not required for medical appointments but you must still inform school or nursery if your child is attending an appointment during school hours.  Depending on the circumstances, we may request proof of the appointment e.g. a letter or message from the relevant person.

This is part of our safeguarding procedures and we thank you in advance for adhering to these procedures.

We are aware that children in some schools receive support outside school with a private tutor. If you currently use or are considering using the services of a private tutor, we urge you to check that they have the appropriate credentials and safer recruitment checks in place. Thank you.

Hello everyone,

I hope this newsletter finds you well. Our thoughts this week have been with the families of the four local boys who tragically died earlier this week. I am sure they have been in your prayers, as they have in our worship in school.

With much love,

Mrs Johnson x
