The CUBE is open from 8 am until 5 pm Monday – Thursday and 8 am until 4:30 pm on Friday

ATTENDANCE 

Absences need to be reported by 9am. To make this process as easy as possible for you, please use either the Arbor Parent Portal or by emailing the Attendance Officer at attendance@churston.torbay.sch.uk. You can also phone the school on 01803 842289 choosing option 1 to speak to the Attendance Officer directly.

Ten continuous days or more of illness requires the school to be provided with medical evidence; a copy of the prescription; or a medical appointment card. In extreme circumstances under the direction of the Local Education Authority, a Doctor’s Certificate may be required.

MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS

We ask you to please make every effort to book non-urgent appointments outside of school hours.

Where this is unavoidable or for specialist appointments, please email the Attendance Officer at attendance@churston.torbay.sch.uk providing the relevant evidence so we can authorise these absences accordingly. 

HOLIDAYS

Requests for term time absence will need to be put in writing, in advance, to the Headteacher by completing an Absence Request Form.

Each case will be considered individually. Absence will only be authorised in exceptional circumstances.

No retrospective approval can be granted. Failure to request permission for leave, or refusal to grant leave, will mean that the absence is unauthorised.
