Attendance and Absence

School commences at 8.45am (KS1) and 8.50am (KS2) and children are expected to be punctual. Persistent latecomers will be reported to the Educational Welfare Officer. The school has developed new systems to record lateness. Children arriving late must report to the school office. Parents are requested to inform us about children who cannot attend school. This should be done before 9am on the first day of absence and every day after the child will not be attending. If no reason has been given for an absence, it will be marked as unauthorised absence.
