Best time to contact: 8:15am to 8:40am / 12.25pm to
12:55pm / After 3:10pm. 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. To download an application for leave
of absence form, please visit: http://kimberleyschool.co.uk/parents-carers/attendance-conduct
