Addendance and punctuality:

Good attendance and timekeeping are vital to ensure that children settle into school well and access all of their learning opportunities to ensure they fulfill their potential. The Punctuality and Attendance Policy is available on the school website. Children who arrive after 8.55 a.m. will be marked as late; children arriving after the gates have been closed must be signed in by their parent/carer at the school office. If there are occasional unavoidable delays in collecting children at the end of the day then children will wait at the school office to be collected – we would appreciate a phone call notifying us of the delay. The school gates are opened at 8.40 am and a member of staff comes on duty at 8.45 am. School will not accept responsibility for pupils until a member of staff is on duty. Younger children should not be left unaccompanied by an adult.
