How to report your child's absence

We’re pleased to announce that we have introduced a more efficient and secure system for reporting your child’s absence due to illness, called Studybugs.

If you haven’t already, please get the free Studybugs app, or register on the Studybugs website, and use it to tell us whenever your child’s ill and unable to attend school.

Get the app or register now https://studybugs.com/about/parents

Top 3 reasons to use Studybugs

1. It’s integrated with our systems so we know right away if your child is unaccounted for.

2. It’s quick and easy to register and use and automatically reminds you to keep us posted.

3. You’ll be helping the NHS and other public health organisations improve children’s health. (https://studybugs.com/about/schools)

Vomiting / Diarrhoea

Keep your child at home following sickness and/or diarrhoea until they have been symptom-free for 48 hours and are well enough to return to school.
