However, it is the equivalent of being absent from lessons for one half day every week. In one year it means missing four whole weeks in the school year. At Nutgrove we fully appreciate your continued co-operation in ensuring your child(ren) are in school each day and on time. Yours Sincerely Mr I Rimmer .
