Although the times noted are when the majority of staff are available, staff may have other commitments (such as meetings or training sessions) at these times. Please do not be disappointed if you have not been able to make contact the first time - remember teachers do have heavy teaching commitments and it is not always possible for them to take or make telephone calls. Please do not turn up at the school to see a member of staff without an appointment. The Kimberley School’s policy is for members of staff only to see people who have made an appointment. The Local Education Authority works with the school to reduce the number of children absent due to holiday taken in term time. The Kimberley School will refuse your request to take your child out and unauthorise any absences taken during term time. If your child has more than 3 days unauthorised absences within a 6 week period, The Kimberley School will refer parents to the Local Authority where they will consider your request and which could result in a fine being imposed on them set at £60 per child which must be paid within 21 days. Failure to pay this penalty within the set time period will result in an increase of the penalty to £120 which must be paid within 28 days. If you want to appeal the fixed term notice, please provide written evidence to Mrs Scattergood, Attendance Officer.
