Absence

Within Hillington Primary School good attendance is encouraged at all times. Parents are asked to inform the Pupil Absence and Appointment Reporting team (Tel: 0141 287 0039) if their child is going to be absent.  This should be done before 9.30 am on each day of absence.  If the child is going to be absent for some time, it would be helpful to know at the earliest opportunity.  The school uses daily text messaging to inform parents of their child’s absence if no contact is made.  All unexplained absence is investigated by the school and appropriate action taken.

 

Appointments

If your child has an unavoidable appointment (i.e. doctors/dental/hospital), please contact Pupil Absence and Appointment Reporting team (Tel: 0141 287 0039) and then collect them from the school office at the specified time.  Appointments can be reported in advance.

The PAAR team email the school office with the details of the absence/appointment and this is then passed to the class teacher.
