Appointments and Early Collection

Appointments and Early Collection

As per our attendance policy:

Medical/dental appointments during school hours

These should be notified in advance to the school, via absence@west-ashtead.surrey.sch.uk and  to the class teacher.  Where possible (emergencies being the exception) such appointments should be kept to a minimum as many doctors and dentists offer surgeries outside of school times.  

However, if appointments have to be made during school hours it is expected that the pupil will return promptly after the appointment.
 
Early Collection – before the end of the school day

If in an emergency a child needs to be collected from school before the end of the day and you have not already requested the time from the Headteacher, please do not attempt to leave a message at Reception – all absence must be authorised by the Headteacher.
