Arrangement for Absences
If your child is absent from school for whatever reason please telephone the school in the morning. If your child is brought to school by transport you should also ring the transport dept. Any unexplained absence will be classed as unauthorised.
If you are a parent or carer, we hope you will find the many web links below useful.
You will also find useful links on our Video Resource Page which has the wide variety of videos that we use in the school on a regular basis.

Diagnosis Resource Pack
Families have described the experience of their child receiving a neurodiversity diagnosis (e.g. Autism or ADHD) as ‘like a bereavement’ and following the lengthy diagnosis process are left with little information, or understanding of ‘what next’? They told us that a 'one-stop shop' for information, resources and signposting following a diagnosis would be really useful, and they would like this information to be accessible and from a trusted source.
The Diagnosis Support Pack (DSP) has been coproduced by families for families following a diagnosis of a neurodiversity, and contains information, resources and signposting in a variety of media (videos, infographics, animations), split into 14 sections - from sleep to medication, and lots more.
The pack has been co-produced with the help of parents, young people, local Parent Carer Forums, CAMHS, Education Psychology and other key partners.
The DSP covers the following topics:
1. Introduction
2. Positives of Neuro-diversities
4. What to expect at your appointment
5. Sleep
6. Medication
3. Mental Heath
4. Supporting Social Communication Development in Autism
5. Best Practice Guide – for professionals
6. Contact Information and Resources
8. Printable resources and links
All pages have been made easy to follow, with links that that guide you through the pack. As well as making the pack informative and useful, it was really important to us that the pack uplifts people and celebrates neurodiversity. We know many families find receiving a diagnosis a challenging time, but empowering messages and having positive role models are so important to help parents/carers and young people on their journey.
