Ensure your child comes to school every day, on time, equipped and ready to learn. Students should be in the building by 8.30 a.m. and sat down by 8.35 a.m., when morning tutor time begins. Students arriving very late will be marked absent and will require an explanatory note or the absence will remain unauthorised.

Ensure the school has up-to-date addresses and telephone numbers. We will contact you if your child is absent and you have not contacted the school. This ensures your child’s safety and any truancy is quickly identified. Persistent lateness is monitored and affects the overall attendance figure for each student. Consequences are the same for those students with low attendance.
