Reporting an Absence

Please note that as of January 2025, reporting absences will no longer be possible by phone.

The best way to report an absence is using ClassCharts.

Please login the ClassCharts website or alternatively download the ClassCharts app. 

Although the previous 'Studybugs' system still allows parents to report absences, using ClassCharts is the easier and preferred method.

Alternative way to Report an Absence / Late to School

You can also contact us by email:

Appointments during the School Day 

If a student arrives late for any reason, we will need a note including a reason for lateness. You can contact us by email OR a note in the student’s planner:

  • Send an email to absence@cncs.co.uk

  • Write a note in student’s planner, clearly stating the time and reason for signing out of school

The student will be required to sign in, on the register in the Admin office, located in corridor to the right of the Chapel entrance on the first floor of Cashman building, upon their arrival and provide evidence of the said appointment (eg, copies of headed doctors/hospital letters, appointment cards, appointment confirmation texts or copies of prescriptions).

 

NOTE: the absence will remain unauthorised until evidence has been received.

Please try to arrange medical and dental appointments after school whenever possible.

Whenever possible, students must attend lessons before and after any appointment.

Request for Absence

For any absence requests, please complete an Exceptional Circumstances Leave of Absence during Term Time Form and email the attachment to the Attendance Officer at: absence@cncs.co.uk or hand it to the Admin office at least two weeks before the planned absence. The Admin office is located in corridor to the right of the Chapel entrance on the first floor of Cashman building.
