Parents/carers must make every effort to inform the school in advance of their child’s absence. If your child is going to be late or absent from school, please notify the school office by 8:30am, providing the reason for the absence or lateness. Parents/carers should contact the school on each day of absence unless alternative arrangements have been agreed.

The school day begins at 8:45am. Morning registration is open between 8:45am and 9:15am, after which the register closes. 

If the school has not received notification of a pupil’s absence, staff will contact parents/carers as soon as possible after registration closes and by 9:30am on the first day of absence to ensure the pupil’s safety and establish the reason for absence. 

Pupils arriving after 9:15am must report immediately to the main school office so that their attendance can be recorded. Pupils arriving after the register has closed will be recorded in accordance with the school’s Attendance Policy. 

To report an absence, please telephone 01676 478177 or email admin6034@millhouseschool.co.uk.
