Appointments During School Time

There may be occasions where a pupil needs to attend a hospital appointment. Generally if these are booked in advance you can request an appointment which does not interfere with the school day. We would request that dentist and doctor’s appointments are also booked out of the school day unless they are emergency appointments. The school will not authorise time taken out for appointments which need not take place during the school day.

We cannot also authorise pupils to be out of school if another family member has an appointment. We offer before and after school care facilities if you need assistance with childcare in these circumstances.
