..yeah, close family bereavements are put down as compassionate circumstances and even other bereavements at a Head's discretion..it would still go as an absence but not one that should have been penalised though...we don't know for sure I guess if it was the only absence of the year though or whether there was others that would have meant less than 100%....I don't think though personally that treats or rewards of being taken out somewhere is a good thing because it just 'excludes' anyway for something that the child has usually no control over....

100% agree, it's a mindless 'computer says no' response.
