The reporting of a student's absence procedure is as follows:
Parent/carers should report absent children by 8.30am to 0161 232 1639. Choose option 1 for Student Services, where you will either speak with a member of staff or be asked to leave a message on the answerphone. Please remember to leave your child’s s full name, form group and year group.
Alternatively, parents can email into office@manchester-academy.org to report a child’s absence.
Any child still absent by 9.00am and where no contact has been received from parent/carer, will receive a phone call home from the Attendance and Safeguarding team.
