Punctuality and Attendance
Reporting Absence:
If your child is unable to attend school, please phone the school every morning before 9:30am to report their absence. This ensures that attendance records remain accurate and up to date.
Illness and Attendance:
We do not consider minor ailments such as a cold, cough, headache, or tummy ache sufficient reasons for a child to miss school.
If your child is feeling unwell but not seriously ill, please bring them to school. Should their condition worsen during the day, we will contact you to collect them.
We often find that once children are with their friends and engaged in learning, they start to feel much better.
Please only keep your child at home when absolutely necessary.
Punctuality
Punctuality is an important life skill that will benefit children both now and in the future.
Our late procedures are in place to ensure that every child is registered and accounted for in the event of an emergency.
In Case of Absence
Please contact the school office on 01302 780386 before 9.30am on each day of your child's absence.
Paper copies of the schools opening times, are available free of charge, to request please contact office@sunnyfields.doncaster.sch.uk
