Reporting And Requesting Pupil Absence - Reminder

Reporting absence via Email
Please note the new email address regarding emailing pupil absences:
attendance@princethorpe.co.uk

Requesting pupil absence
Parents are strongly discouraged from taking their children out of school. Family holidays should always be taken in the school holiday period which is published over a year in advance. Permission for leave of absence for valid reasons, such as a family funeral, should be sought in writing and in advance from the Headmaster or by using the online form found in the Parental Portal under VLE/Forms&Surveys or email attendance@princethorpe.co.uk.

We ask that, where possible, all pupil appointments (e.g. medical or dental) are made out of school hours, to avoid disruption to learning.

Extended Day - Reminder

We encourage pupils to stay after school for sports practices, co-curricular activities and supervised study but for health and safety reasons we must know who is still at school and where everyone is.

By 4.00pm all pupils still in school, but not involved in a sports activity or co-curricular club, must go to 'Extended Day’ where they are expected to complete independent work and private study.  Extended Day is not a social club.  School rules still apply and parents will be notified if pupils do not have adequate work.

Extended day ends at 6.00pm.  After 6.00pm pupils are handed into the care of our residential staff and moved to the main building.  There will be a charge for this service of £10 per half-hour or any part thereof.  This will be added to the next term's bill.

Outdoor Coats

There are a number of outdoor coats in lost property at present, all unnamed.  When purchasing new outdoor coats for school please can I reiterate that they should be dark in colour, preferably black, no leather or denim and clearly labelled.

Thank you for your continued support.
