How to report an absence at St Matthews Catholic Primary School
Main way – Telephone
At St. Matthew’s we have an automated telephone mailbox for general absences related to illness. Simply leave a message on the mailbox anytime during the morning of the absence, but preferably by no later than 9:15. If there is any issues with the message, the school office will ring you back.
If the absence is more complex and you would prefer to discuss the absence with a member of staff, please contact the school office direct to discuss any concerns.
Alternative Way – Email
If you are unable to telephone the school office with a child’s absence then please email the school office on [email protected] with all the same information (Child’s name, Class, reason for absence.) and the message will be picked up by our admin team.
For more information, please see our attendance policy: link
Please do not use ClassDojo to report class absences unless absolutely necessary.
