Illness

If your child is going to be absent from school due to illness, please click on the ParentMail app to let us know. This should be done by 9am and here is how: 

1. Open the ParentMail app on your smartphone.

2. Log in using your registered email and password.

3. From the home screen, tap on 'Absence Reporting'.

4. Select your child and enter the reason for absence.

5. Confirm the date(s) and submit the form.

6. You will receive a confirmation message once submitted.

If you experience any issues, please contact the school office at: 01234 567890 or email: office@stmaryallsaints.co.uk

Medical Appointments

Where possible, routine medical, dental and optician appointments should be made outside of school hours. However, we realise that this is not always possible. If your child is going to be absent due to a medical appointment, please inform the class teacher in writing, via a note in your child’s book-bag, the day before the planned absence.

Other Absences

If your child is going to be absent for any reason other than illness or a medical appointment, please collect a Leave of Absence Request Form from the school office at least one month prior to the planned absence where possible. Please note, if you have a child in upper Key Stage 2 who may require time out of school to visit prospective secondary schools, you should complete a Leave of Absence Request Form prior to taking them out of school. Please note; the school is unable to authorise absences for family holidays unless in exceptional circumstances.
