Is my child too ill to attend school?

We are pleased to announce that from September 2025, Haylands Primary School will use a secure and efficient system for reporting your child’s absence, due to illness or any other reason, called Studybugs.

Top 3 reasons to use Studybugs:

1. It’s integrated with our systems so we know right away if your child is unaccounted for.

2. It’s quick and easy to register and use and automatically reminds you to keep us posted.

3. You’ll be helping the NHS and other public health organisations improve children’s health https://studybugs.com/about/schools

Please download the free Studybugs app or register on the Studybugs website to use it to tell us whenever your child’s ill and unable to attend school: https://studybugs.com/about/parents
