If your child is absent from school, please inform the school office before 9:00am each day of absence. You can report an absence in one of the following ways:

• Leave a voicemail on the absence line: 020 3745 7411
• Email: attendance@fielding.ealing.sch.uk
• Visit the school office in person
  Please do not pass absence messages to class teachers.

When reporting an absence, please provide your child's full name, class, and the reason for their absence (for example, chickenpox or a medical appointment).

Exceptional Absence Requests

If you need to request time away from school for exceptional circumstances, such as attending a funeral, visiting a seriously ill relative, a family wedding, or other significant family events, you must complete an Exceptional Absence Request Form in advance wherever possible. Requests are considered on an individual basis and approval is not automatic.

Further information, including the application form, can be found here

Unauthorised Absences

It is important that parents provide a reason for every absence. If we do not receive an explanation, or if the reason provided is not accepted under our definition of an exceptional absence, the absence will be recorded as unauthorised.
Unauthorised absences form part of your child's overall attendance record and may result in further enquiries from the school or in some cases and penalty fine from the Local Authority.
