Absence & Illness

Reporting Absences

At The Marton Academy, we understand the importance of great attendance, but we also appreciate that sometimes pupils are just not well enough to be in school. Please ensure that you follow the correct procedure for reporting absences.

You must phone the school office on 01427 718224 before 09:00am to let us know that your child(ren) will not be in. If there is no answer, please leave a voice message.

Absences should not be reported via Class Dojo. Class Dojo is a communication app and is not consistently monitored at various times of the day.
