Every day at Lowbrook Academy is a new chance to grow, discover, and achieve something incredible. When pupils show up consistently, they build powerful habits, strengthen their confidence, and unlock opportunities that only happen in the classroom. Great attendance isn’t just about being present — it’s about choosing success, embracing challenge, and giving yourself the best possible future.
Reporting a child's absence due to illness or a medical appointment
To report your child's absence due to illness please report this to the school office via email lowbrook@lowbrookacademy.co.uk or telephone 01628 671355 before 9am.
When you child returns to school a letter confirming your child's absence should be sent to the school office.
Should your child have an early morning doctor, emergency dental appointment or hospital appointment you must send a copy of the appointment must be emailed to the school office via lowbrook@lowbrookacademy.co.uk or call on 01628 671355.
We do ask that all routine dental appointments are made outside of school hours. Regular appointments during the school day disrupts your child's learning.
Unfortunately, if we receive no information explaining your child's absence their time away from school will be marked as unauthorised.
