If your child is unwell and unable to attend school, please contact the office before the start of the school day. You can leave a message on the answer phone (01263 733381) or email (office@colby.norfolk.sch.uk).  If you would like to discuss your child’s illness with Mrs Mead, please telephone from 7.30am.  

Illness

Holidays

Holidays during school term time can only be authorised in exceptional circumstances.  If you would like to discuss your child taking time off school for a holiday, please contact the school office to arrange an appointment with Mrs Mead.  Thank you.        

If your child is unwell and is not well enough to come into school please let the office know in the morning. There may be times when your child becomes unwell during the school day. If necessary we will contact you to collect your child from school. Please can you ensure that we always have an up to date set of contact names, numbers and addresses. If your child has an accident, such as a fall, we have trained first aid staff to deal with such incidents. Again, if the injury requires further medical attention we will make every effort to contact you to collect your child.
