Pupil Absence Reporting Line

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
