Attendance

Contact the Attendance line phone prior to 8.20am on the first day of absence, advising of the reason and likely length of absence. Parents or carers should continue to inform the School on each subsequent day of absence. You can report your child’s absence by:

• Email – attendance@thamesview.kent.sch.uk
• Phone – 01474 566552 option 2
• Using the MCAS App

Where there is medical evidence supporting your child’s absence, contact Thamesview’s attendance team email address (attendance@thamesview.kent.sch.uk) or on the MCAS app to provide any necessary documentation. This needs to be completed as soon as the documentation is available. Wherever possible, all medical appointments should be taken outside of school time. Medical documentation can be an attached photo, screenshot or photocopy of:

• letter from medical professional
• appointment card with name date and time
• copy of prescription note
• copy of prescribed medication sticker on side of medicine packaging
