Lateness
As a school, we are working really hard to encourage children to be at school and ready to learn on time each day. Here are the number of late marks for each class since we came back after the Christmas holidays. As you can see, some children are missing out on valuable learning time and this can directly impact on their academic progress and well being.
The classroom doors open at 8.35 and the register is taken at 8.40. In order to safeguard the children in school, the gates are locked at 8.40 and all children who come after this time must come through the main office and sign in.
If there are issues around morning routines, transport or anything else that makes you late, please pop in to school to see us or call the office for further support.
