The school day starts at 8:50 am, school doors are shut at 9.00 am. Lateness is classed as any child coming into school after 9.10 am. All children arriving after 9.00 am must report to the office and their name will be placed in the Late Book. After 9.25am it is classed as an unauthorised absence.

We monitor lateness on a monthly basis. Where children have persistent lateness problems, the Head Teacher will invite the parents into school to discuss the situation. The school target is for 99% punctuality.

We should all be encouraging our children to work hard to achieve arriving at school on time. Habits/routines set at an early age help foster expectations throughout our lives.

• Get up in plenty of time to get dressed, have breakfast and get your school bags ready
• Younger children are dependent upon parents/carers bringing them to school on time
• Older children must ensure they allow enough time to walk to school
