School Opening Times

School is open for a total of 32.5 hours per week.

Lateness

It is very important that your child arrives on time for school.

Being late can be upsetting for the child, and disruptive for the class.

If you are late, please take your child to the office where they will be given a late mark, and their lunch booked.

School ends at 3.15 p.m. and all children should be collected at that time by a responsible adult who is known to the class teacher and registered on the school’s designated adult collection form.

If there are pupils who continue to be late arriving or being picked up after school late the Attendance Manager Mr. Usher will be informed.

Attendance

Regular attendance is crucial to each child’s educational development. The government has asked all schools to remind parents that:

They are under a legal duty to send their child to school regularly and risk prosecution if they fail in this duty.

If your child is unable to attend school because of ill health, medical, or any other reason, please telephone the school or register an absence via Weduc on the first day of absence and the nature of the illness or reason for absence.

If your child has an absence linked to a medical appointment, please ensure you have proof of the appointment sent to the School Office via Weduc or in person.

If you fail to inform the school of your child’s absence, or your child fails to attend on a regular basis, it is the statutory duty of the school to inform the Attendance Manager Mr Usher who will then investigate the absence.

If your child has a medical appointment or needs to leave school early for any reason you must inform the school office not the class teacher. Proof must be provided.
