The Academy requests that parent/carer make all but emergency appointments for medical and dental check-ups outside of the school day. If this is not possible, please give as much notice in advance along with evidence to the Academy as soon as possible of the appointment.

Following parental communication to the Academy of an appointment, students are required to present evidence of the appointment to Main Reception or the Attendance Office so permission to leave a lesson early is granted.

Students must attend school before and after the appointment where appropriate so that the loss of learning time is minimised. This absence will be authorised for the appointment and for reasonable travel time only.
