What if I have a family emergency or bereavement abroad?

Question:
What if I have a family emergency or bereavement abroad?
Answer:
Unexpected family emergencies do happen unfortunately and can be very upsetting. However, parents must notify the school themselves of the absence as soon as possible as messages from friends or relatives who don’t have parental responsibility may not be accepted. Schools are not allowed to authorise leave retrospectively. Notifying the school doesn’t mean the absence will be authorised though. In the case of a family emergency or bereavement abroad, parents are strongly encouraged to request authorisation from the school and ensure absence is no longer than 5 school days. The final decision about authorisation sits entirely with the Headteacher.
