# Reporting Absence

To report a child's absence please call the school office on 01925 723550 or use our [online Absence Reporting Form.](https://parkroadprimary.co.uk/absence-reporting)

Please leave the name of your child, class number and the reason for your absence.

It can be difficult to know when your child is too ill to attend school.  NHS guidance is clear that it is fine to send children into school with a minor cough or common cold, provided they don’t have a temperature. If you would like further details you can look at [their website here](https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/is-my-child-too-ill-for-school/). If If you need support from school please contact the school office to speak to our school attendance lead.
