The school gates open for children to come into school at 8:30am and registration closes at 8.45am. 

School finishes at 3pm, Monday – Friday

Punctuality

School gates open at 8:30am and registration closes at 8:45am and all children should be in school and learning by this time. If your child arrives after 9:00am this will be classified as being ‘late after register closed’ and could be classified as an unauthorised absence for that session.

This is monitored closely by school and the Local Authority for any further action which may need to be taken.

Lateness

It is a parent’s responsibility to ensure their children arrive at school on time. Lateness can disrupt the learning of others and can result in a pupil feeling greater stress and achieving poorer outcomes.

90 percent attendance means that your child is absent from school lessons for the equivalent of one half day per week. Over five years this is the equivalent of about one half of a school year. Research shows a close link between attendance at school and a child’s achievement. Being late adds up to a loss of learning.

All time out of school affects learning and achievement for pupils.

If a pupil arrives after registration has closed (9.00am) the absence will be recorded as unauthorised for that session. If this persists legal action, in the form of a Penalty Notice or Prosecution under section 444(1) of the Education Act 1996 may follow.
