If your child is unwell and unable to attend school, please inform us as soon as possible (see contact details below).

You can do this by emailing absence@backwellschool.net or phoning the school line on 01275 463371 and choose option 1 where you can leave a voicemail message.

If your child has been vomiting or had diarrhoea, you are required to keep them off for 48 hours before returning to school.

It is important that parents/carers notify school on a daily basis if their child is not going to be in.

You can also inform us of appointments during the school day using the same contact details.
