Thank you to the many parents who ensure that their children attend regularly and arrive in time. The following information does not affect most families but it is important for you to be aware that it is happening.

Late Arrival at School

 When your child arrives late at school, he/she misses the teacher’s instructions and the introduction to the lesson. Your child may also feel embarrassed at having to enter the classroom late.

End of Day Lateness

We know that emergencies happen which mean that a parent/carer may occasionally arrive late to collect their child/children at the end of the day. Please try to let the office know as soon as possible by telephone if this is going to be the case.

Term Time Absence

Penalty notices have been issued to some parent/carers taking unauthorised leave during term time. A reminder that where term time absence is unavoidable it is necessary for parents to provide proof of the reason for this. Please ask at the office if you are unclear or request to see Mrs Redwood.
