Pupil Absence Reporting Line
0141 287 0039 or 0141 471 3710
Lines open from 8am Monday to Friday
Please phone the dedicated absence team to report the following absences:
Sickness absence: if the absence lasts more than one day, parents and carers are required to call on subsequent days to provide an update. A letter should be provided to the school when the child returns from their absence.
Medical or dental appointments: Parents and carers should call the team to report absences for medical or dental appointments. The school requires a letter or appointment card as evidence of the appointment to ensure permission can be given to be absent from class.
Alternatively you can report their absence/appointment online anytime at
www.glasgow.gov.uk/pupilabsence
The form is easy and quick to fill in, and will save you time on the phone.
Please phone the school directly to report the following absences:
To make sure you receive the right support you require, parents and carers should still contact the school directly to report absences of a sensitive or personal nature, for example:
Bereavement
Serious illness, for example, an absence which is going to last more than one week
- Injury, for example, broken limb
- Contagious diseases or illness
