Allfarthing School

Attendance

It is important for children to be at school on time and every day unless they are unwell.

If your child is unwell please let the school know on the first and subsequent days of absence, by telephone 020 8874 1301 ext 2 or email info@allfarthing.wandsworth.sch.uk

If your child has a medical, or other unavoidable appointment, please let us know in advance.

Request for Pupil Absence During Term Time

The Department for Education (DfE) permits the Headteacher to authorise planned absence only in exceptional circumstances. However, this is at the discretion of the Headteacher and is not an automatic right.

Please complete the online google form (link below) if you wish to take your child out of school during term time.

Absence Request via Google Forms

The school attendance registers are monitored by Wandsworth Education Welfare Service, who follow up persistent lateness and unauthorised absence.
