In line with school communication at the start of September 2024, the school day starts at 08:35am and after this time school entrances will be locked. Any students arriving to school after this time will need to sign-in at reception.
If a student is late to school without good reason, we will contact home to make sure you are aware of the lateness.
Regular lateness to school without good reason can lead to you being asked to attend a meeting in school and an attendance action plan may be developed. Sanctions such as after school detentions may be issued for the student. These methods are to discourage lateness and help the student learn about being on time.
Our school day begins at 8.35am. At 8.30am all students are expected to be in their line up getting ready to start the day. This is to ensure there is a smooth, well managed, and prompt start to school. Any student who arrives after 8.35am is deemed late for school.
We do understand that on days when there is particularly heavy traffic coming onto the site it can be difficult to be on time and the school will take this into account. Equally for those students who travel by school bus: – if the bus is late then students will not be marked as late.
