Parents are asked to check children’s
hair regularly and treat any lice
immediately. Please inform the class
teacher if your child has head lice so
we can alert other parents/carers to
check their children.
Head Lice
Please contact school on the first day of your child’s absence before 10.00am.
Please let the office staff know your child’s name, year and the nature of their
illness. This can be done by calling 0113 262 4851, option 1 or texting 07624
806 559 - please put this number in your mobile! Any unexplained absences
will result in our Family Support Worker or a member of the admin team
contacting you.
Please note children must have 48 hours off school after an incident of
sickness or diarrhoea. This is a Leeds-wide policy recommended by the
School Nurses to reduce the spread of infection between children.
Procedure for
Reporting Absence
Holidays and
Extended Leave
There is a direct link between attendance and achievement and we hope all our children attend as much as possible. We
recognise that many of our families have relatives who live abroad but removing your child from school for an extended
period does affect their education. The Governors have tightened our Attendance Policy and no holiday leave will be
authorised during term time. Holiday absence in excess of 20 days may result in a child’s place at school being lost. Please
note that Children Leeds will fine parents who choose to take their children out of school during term time.
Chapel Allerton Primary School was built to accommodate wheelchairs. There are access ramps into the building, into the
playground and the dining hall and there is a modern hygiene suite suitable for both adults and children with special needs.
Admission Arrangements for Children with Disabilities
Chapel Allerton Primary School Governors welcome the involvement of
parents/carers in the running of the school and we are committed to
ensuring that the relationship between parents/carers, governors,
the senior management team, teaching and non-teaching staff is
constructive and co-operative, recognising that the interests of the
children are paramount.
The Governors realise that from time to time parents may have
grievances against the school and the following procedures are
intended to ensure that all grievances, however minor, are dealt
with promptly and effectively.
We hope that Governors, school and parents will be able to
work together in resolving problems without recourse to the
formal procedures.
If you have a complaint you should:
l
contact the relevant teacher first where appropriate.
l
if the complaint is unresolved contact the Head Teacher.
l
if the complaint still remains unresolved then a formal
complaint must be made in writing to the Head Teacher and a
full investigation following the LEAs Complaints Procedure will
be carried out.
A panel of governors will hear your complaint andmake a decision.
If you are unhappy with the decision you can lodge an appeal which
a second panel of governors will hear.
