Report an Absence

Absences

Reporting an Absence. If your child is absent from School, please ensure you report the absence to the School Office via the absence line / office email by 09:00 every day of your child’s absence.

Please can you ensure that emails regarding absence, late arrival or your child leaving School early are sent into the School Office, office@dnl.odbst.org. We will then pass your message onto the teacher. Thank you.

Sickness and diarrhoea - Your child is not permitted to return to School until they have been free of sickness/diarrhoea for 48 hours from the last episode, as per the Buckinghamshire County Council’s policy.

Leave of Absence Applications

 ‘Leave of Absence’ application forms (please see below) need to be completed for all absences during school hours, excluding sickness, which is reported via the absence line / email to the office. Hospital/medical appointments need to be recorded on a Leave of Absence form with evidence of your child’s appointment. The School does not authorise holidays during term time. Where possible, please complete and return a “leave of absence form” to the School Office for authorisation at least one month before leave is required.
