Appointments

We appreciate some appointments will fall within school hours. To ensure these are correctly coded please provide appointment cards, screenshots or letters etc. in advance if possible.

Reporting Absences

Please advise the school as early as possible on the first day by contacting our Attendance Officer, Mrs Bolton.

You are now able to report your child's absence directly through the MCAS app using the Report an Absence feature. 

To report an absence using MCAS:

• Log into the MCAS app
• Select your child
• Choose 'Attendance', and the report an absence option.
• Then enter the details, provide a reason and also use the time feature if this is for an appointment. Please also include screenshots of photos of appointment letters or text messages as evidence. 

Alternatively, you can leave a voicemail, or send an email.

📧 eta-absence@bestacademies.org.uk
 📞 01462 730391 and dial 1 when prompted to leave a message on the absence line or dial 0 to speak to the office.

For continuing absences, please update the school everyday, unless advised otherwise.

We kindly ask that you please follow our attendance procedures at all times. All absences must be phoned in or emailed daily, before 9:00am.

Students are expected to ask to leave at the correct time & make their way to reception to sign out & be collected. Thank you for your continued support.
