How to Report an Absence

The expectation is that students attend every day unless they are unwell, in which case parents or carers are expected to contact the Academy before 09:00 on the morning of every absence.

To report a Harris Academy Purley student absent, you can email us at the address below or call our main telephone number and choose option 1 from our automated answering system. A pre-authorised email address or telephone number will allow us to verify a parent or carer's identity.

When a student is marked absent from the academy, our system will send a message home to ensure parents or carers are aware of the absence. These messages will also be triggered if a student is late to morning registration or misses the register at the start of any lesson. If you receive a message or call from our attendance team on a day where you believe your son or daughter should be in school, please call the number above.
