Being at school is a very important part of any child’s life. It enables them to learn, to make friends, to gain important knowledge and to develop a variety of skills which will prepare them for adult life.
School and parents/carers are partners in making this a success. As parents/carers it is your legal responsibility to make sure that your child makes the most of this opportunity by attending regularly.

Absences
All children are expected to attend school regularly. We actively promote 100% attendance for all our pupils.
In cases of illness, parents are asked to telephone the school on 01902 558866 and speak to a member of the office team or leave a message on the absence line. You can also contact us by emailing office@elston.org.uk Please remember to give specific details of the illness.
If the absence continues for any length of time, please keep the school updated. A note confirming the reason for absence should be sent in with your child upon their return.
Please note that absence due to sickness or diarrhoea requires your child to be away from school for 48 hours.
