Reporting Absence
Please telephone the school office on 02890-370094 or email info@lowwood.belfast.ni.sch.uk to inform us if your child will be late or absent from school. Unexplained absences will be followed up by the school office. Thank you for your co-operation with this.
The Department of Education states, ‘You can demonstrate your commitment to your child’s education by not taking holidays during term time. Any child or young person who is absent from school due to a holiday will miss out on important learning and will fall behind with their schoolwork. In each Academic Year there are only a maximum of 190 statutory school days, this allows plenty of time for holidays to be arranged outside term time.’ (Attendance Matters Leaflet- sent out this week). If your child will be absent from school due to a family holiday, this must be put in writing to the Principal in advance of the trip.
