We believe that it is important to encourage children to arrive at school at the correct time – this is 8.55 am. We ask parents to support us in this.The Junior class with the least number of children late during the week will win the ‘Punctuality Cup. Classroom doors will be closed at 9.00 a.m. If you arrive later, your child should report to the Reception.
Please note that if you do get up late, you should still send or take your child to school, whatever the time and not keep them at home for the rest of the morning.
If your child is regularly late without any explanation from you, we shall send you a ‘Reason for Lateness’ note to complete and return to school.
Punctuality
Attendance
Whenever your child is absent you should send a letter of explanation to the school. On the first day of any absence, you should telephone the school by 10.00 a.m. If we have not received notification we shall text or telephone you to ask the reason for the absence.
If we do not receive a note or we are unable to contact you, we shall class the absence as unauthorised, and send a ‘Reason for Absence’ note for you to complete. This may be followed up by contact from the school’s Home School Liaison Work.
