Absence

If your child is unwell and is unable to attend school, please contact the school office with a specific reason for absence by 9am on the first day of absence and keep us regularly informed of their progress and expected return date.

A message can be left on the school absence line (01727 850576 opt 1) at any time or an email may be sent to admin@sandridge.herts.sch.uk

Children with diarrhoea or vomiting should stay away from school for 2 days after their symptoms have gone.

Holidays taken in term time will not be authorised.  Requests for leave can only be granted in exceptional circumstances – a holiday is not considered exceptional.  Please see our Attendance Policy for further information.

Medicine in school

It is not normal procedure for non-emergency medication to be administered in school. However, in certain circumstances, where it is deemed essential, it may be possible.  In such cases, a consent form will need to be completed and signed by the parent/carer.  Please speak to a member of the office staff for further information.
