The school office is open for 7.5 hours per day, Monday-Friday during term time.  This equates to 37.5 hours per week during term time.  An answer phone will accept messages outside of these hours.  During school holidays, office emails will be checked periodically and "Automatic Replies" will give further information about how to contact staff during these holidays periods.  For safeguarding queries, please refer to the school's Child Protection Policy.  A DSL will always be available, even if not on site.

 

Reporting absence

If your child is poorly, please call the school on 01242513114 and leave a message on our answer phone.  Please do not email in as emails may not be picked up immediately.  If your child has experienced sickness or diarrhoea, they must stay off school for 48-hours.  There is currently no isolation requirement for COVID-19.

Children are marked on the register as "late" if they arrive into school after 8:55am.

For planned absences, for example medical appointments, parents must complete a form available from the school office.  Other absence requests must also be in writing using the form from the school office.  The school follow's GCC's absence procedures for children and our policy can be found here: Naunton Park Primary School - Policies
