Dear Parent/Carer, 

If you believe you may be entitled to Free School Meals (see Enfield Website https://new.enfield.gov.uk/services/children-and-education/school-welfare-and-information/school-meals/) you can still fill out an application to apply. 

The extra support being offered for free school meals is not for those on Universal Infant Free School Meals (every child in EYFS/Yr1/Yr2) but for those who have applied for FSM due to their eligibility.

Attached are the relevant forms. 

EYFS/Yr1/Yr2 - click here

Year 3/4/5/6 - click here

Please complete and send a copy via email to office@honilands.enfield.sch.uk

Any queries regarding this process, please email the school at the above address.

Authorised and Unauthorised Absence. What is the difference?

Authorised Absence

This is defined as any absence which is unavoidable and will be considered once a reason has been provided. Reasons that may be authorised include:

• Absence due to Illness - Specific reasons for illnesses are recorded on the register once provided by parents. Please provide medical evidence where applicable. We will make referrals to our school health nurse when deemed appropriate.
• Medical or dental appointments - Routine appointments should be, where possible, made outside of school hours. School should be informed before 8:50am if appointments are going to make a pupil late for school. Pupils are expected to attend school before and after routine appointments and ensure that they sign in and out at Reception. Please provide evidence by way of an appointment letter/card.

Unless a parent informs us of the reason for any absence, that absence will be unauthorised.

You will receive a phone call from the office if you do not inform us as it is our duty to ensure your child is safe. If we cannot make contact with you then you may receive a home visit from a member of staff.

Unauthorised Absence

This is defined as any absence which is avoidable and where the child would be able to attend school if the parent(s)/carer(s) had not deemed otherwise.
Unauthorised Absence may be if your child does not attend because of:

• Going on holiday or travelling abroad
• Days off for birthdays, shopping trips
• Feeling tired
• Bad weather
• Non urgent appointment
• Parent unwell to bring them to school
• Birthday
• Holidays

NO holidays, for any reason, will be authorised and fines will be issued by the Education Welfare Service.
