Teacher long term sick

Hi, after children returned to school from half term my sons teacher was off sick. My son has sen, would not typically tell me something like this and struggles with change. Nobody told me, he has a one to one but she's very new so it may not have occurred to her to let me know. It wasn't obvious as the TA always stands at the door for drop off and pick up and caus of covid we are not allowed in. This is year 2 so children are 6, I found out after nearly two weeks. When I spoke to head teacher she was very dismissive saying they wouldn't let parents know if a teacher is off. Several parents complained so on third week we got a text saying a relief would be covering this week. Just wondered if this is standard policy in schools ?

I feel it is good to inform parents that teacher is not and we have supply but even that wasnt mentioned.

AS a parent i have every right to know we have supply....and if ts long term then tell us so i can tell my daughter that her teacher is no longer coming and we can move on.
