Term Dates
It is important that your child attends school regularly. We publish our term dates well in advance, giving you plenty of time to plan your holidays. Term dates can be found here: https://www.bromptonwestbrook.medway.sch.uk/online-office/term-dates-2020-2021
Please see our attendance policy here as the school CANNOT authorise holidays during term time, unless in exceptional circumstances. Parents should plan their holidays within school holidays.
However in the rare cases that this is not possible, parents should still seek permission from the head teacher to take their children out of school by completing a leave of absence request form as found here.
ABSENCES:
If your child is absent from school please send an email to bromptonabsence@thewestbrooktrust.org stating your child's name, their class, the reason for the absence and the expected date of return by 9am on the first day of absence. You can also call 01634 844152, select option 3 and be ready to give the information as listed above. Please update the school DAILY regarding your child’s absence until they have returned. Thank you.
