A text will be sent home, please respond via text with a reason for the absence as a matter of urgency so that we know that your child is safe.
If your child is to be absent for three days or more (or where we have concerns for the child’s attendance) we will require a medical certificate from your GP or a stamped Great Wyrley Academy Medical Card stating your child is too ill to attend school. Medical cards can be obtained from the Attendance office.
The above applies to all students, including those in sixth form. If a student has to leave the site for any reason, a note must be brought into school from their parent/carer, signed and dated by their form tutor, before signing out with the note at Reception. Students must not leave the premises without the permission of the school.
If your child is too unwell to attend school please call the Pupil Absence Line on 01922 419311 ext 102. You must call before 9am on each morning that your child is absent.
The Attendance Office is open from 8am each morning. Before this time you will be able to leave a voicemail on the Pupil Absence Line answer machine. You will need to give clear details of your child’s name, tutor group, the date and the reason for their absence.
You can also inform us of your child's absence by email at great-wyrley-attendance@greatwyrley.windsoracademytrust.org.uk. You will need to give clear details of your child’s name, tutor group, the date and reason for their absence.
