Thank you to all the parents/carers who contact Knox before the school day to inform us if their youngster is going to be absent. Sometimes the telephone lines are very busy and your patience is appreciated. We also appreciate the letters sent in with pupils when they return to school.
Following a telephone call, pupils are recorded as having a verbal explanation for absence, however a letter from their parent/carer is required before the reason for absence is confirmed. If absences remain unexplained they will be changed to ‘N’ for ‘unreasonable excuse’ or ‘T’ for “truancy’. Read more about ABSENCE FROM SCHOOL
