The pupil’s parent/carer must notify the school of the reason for the absence on the first day of an unplanned absence as soon as practically possible by calling the school admin staff.

At Holyport there a few ways to report a child’s absence:

• Phone call to the school office
• Leaving a message on the Attendance Line Voicemail (Option 1)
• Email to parents@holyportprimaryschool.co.uk
• Written note handed to the class teacher
• Speak to the class teacher directly who will record the absence on our Attendance Register

Term Time Absence

If you are considering making a request for a term-time absence due to a holiday, please be aware that the school's attendance policy follows the guidance from RBWM regarding term-time holidays and continues to apply to all such requests.

Any term-time absence/holiday request taking place from April 2023, fine requests will be sent to RBWM to process for significant unauthorised absence and term-time holidays.

Requests for term-time absence should be made 14 days before the start date of absence and following this the Headteacher will review the request and a letter will be sent with the outcome of the application.

Please complete the form below if you would like to inform the school of your child's term-time absence.
