Absence Reporting
Attending school regularly is important for every child. By attending, every child makes academic progress by building their knowledge, understanding and skills. Being present each day enables children to feel the sense of belonging to the school community.
We know that illness is unavoidable and to be expected but knowing whether pupils are going to be absent from school and the reasons for any absences is an important safeguarding issue for the school. It is therefore, vitally important that if your child is not going to be in school that you complete the Absence Form by 8:30am.
If you are unable to access the form please either call the school and leave a message on the school absence line on 020 8337 4152 or email the office: ccioffice@leoacademytrust.co.uk
Please note that if your child is unwell for 5 or more days, medical evidence may be requested.
Special Leave Request
If you feel you have exceptional circumstances for a leave of absence during term time, please complete and submit the Request for Exceptional Absence Form.
Penalty Notices Sutton
Penalty notices are fines imposed on parents. They are an alternative to the prosecution of parents for failing to ensure that their child of compulsory school age regularly attends the school where they are registered or at a place where alternative provision is provided. Penalty notices can be used where the pupil’s absence has not been authorised by the school. Please refer to the attendance policy for further information regarding Penalty Notices.
