Absence

Further details concerning absence can be found in the staff handbook.

For unplanned absence, please phone the principal on: 01295 251451 (ext.

168) before 7:00am, and leave a message explaining the reason for your
absence. You should also phone/email your HoD with details of the work

you are setting or where you are on the SOL.

For planned absence please complete an absence request form which will

need to be signed by your HoD then passed to the principal’s PA. Please
submit this in plenty of time but no later than 72 hours before your

requested absence as otherwise, permission may not be granted. For

planned absences, all cover work must be left labelled in the teaching room

(and your HoD should know what and where this is).

Cover for classes should be written on the school proforma and should be
suitable for non-specialists to deliver.
