ALTERNATIVE PROVISION

PARENT/CARER ZONE

Our parent/carer has a large number of resources and information which we help you’ll find useful in supporting your child when they’re at our RAISE-AP provision.

Absence

If your child is going to be absent due to illness, a medical appointment etc… or you wish to request a leave of absence, please contact us via our phone, in person or use our online form below:

*Please note, attendance is extremely import in a child’s education and RAISE-AP follow DfE guidance to assist minimising any absence. Education law states that parents do not have a right to take their child out of school for a holiday during term time. Only in exceptional circumstances may a headteacher grant permission for leave; and it is the Head of Provision’s decision on whether the absence is exceptional and how many days to approve.

More details about requesting a leave of absence can be found on the RAISE-AP absence page.
