Parent's responsibilities
Make sure that your child goes to school every day (unless they are ill) and ensure they arrive on time.
Make sure your child understands that they should not miss out on going to school.
If your child is ill, make sure you know your child’s school’s rules about reporting absence and follow them.
If you need to take your child out of school, apply to the school for time off. Get confirmation from the school in writing. You should always state why you need to take your child out of school.
Do not expect the school to agree to time off if there are no exceptional circumstances.
