Absence & Attendance

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 by 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 report your childs absence via Arbor.

If you are unable to access the form please either call the school and leave a message on the school absence line on 0208 2244 731 or email the office: cdfoffice@leoacademytrust.co.uk

Please note that if your child is unwell for 5 or more days, medical evidence may be requested.

We do not authorise holidays during term time. If your child is going to be off school due to an exceptional circumstance, then an Exceptional Absence Form needs to be completed in advance of the absence.
