Sickness Absence

Please do not send children when they are unwell.

They are best at home where they can be cared for properly and get better quickly.


If your child has a common cold then please send them in warm clothing with plenty of spare tissues and a reminder to cover their mouth and nose and wash hands often. They will be fine in school.


In the event of children being unwell school will always contact the emergency contact number. Please keep this up to date.

When your child is absent contact school as early as possible to explain. The Office is open from 8.30am.

If the office staff don't hear from you by 10 past 9 the same day they will call to establish your child's reason for absence. This is an accordance withe school's safeguarding procedures for all children.

You can also contact us via email admin@haverigg.cumbria.sch.uk which wil go directly to the office email box.

Our Values

We aim to teach the children at Haverigg Primary School how to behave well and to be considerate and self-disciplined individuals.

We highlight different values throughout the year to provide children with the language and understanding to maintain these values.
