The school says it is also not accepting explanations such as 'unwell, poorly or ill'.
Parents have reacted angrily to a school's policy of refusing to authorise sick days related to period pain unless parents provided "related medical information".
Some parents criticised the move on social media, with one mother saying that her endometriosis, a condition that often causes painful periods, was only diagnosed in her 40s. A recent email from Neal-Wade Academy to parents, seen by the BBC, said: "From immediate effect we will not be accepting terms such as 'unwell, poorly, ill' or similar as explanations relating to student absence.Under national rules, schools are required to consider fining parents if a child has missed 10 or more sessions – or five days – for unauthorised reasons.
He added: "We appreciate the cooperation of parents and carers as we work together to ensure the best educational outcomes for all our students."
