Posting for traffic not really AIBU sorry.
So I received a letter on DD's book bag yesterday sent out yesterday regarding her attendance, as stated she was off all last week as advised by school as she was vomiting and then after that finished had diarrhoea.
(We've also had a few days scattered off as we caught covid and school states child be kept off for three days after positive test )
Aswell as general bugs which have gave a fever, DD didn't attend nursery so her immune system took a harsh hit when joining school.
The letter states I have a legal responsibility to ensure full time education once a child reaches statutory school age.
Am I wrong in thinking 5 is actually the legal school age? And any attendance made by pupils under 5 is disregarded for the school year? She is a late July so won't turn 5 until six weeks Summer holidays.
