Absence Line

Parents are asked to telephone the King’s absence line on 01244 689504. This is an automated line and parents should leave the name of their child, child’s tutor group or class and the reason for absence. Alternatively, parents can email absence@kingschester.co.uk with the same information. Please contact the School as early as possible and not later than 9.30am, if a pupil cannot attend school because of illness.
On the first day back to school after such an absence, a note of explanation addressed to the tutor should be handed in by the pupil at registration.
