Children are required by law to receive 190 days of education per year. Regular attendance at school is vital for a child’s progress, and parents have a legal responsibility to see that their children are in school and on time every day.
A list of school holidays is issued every year and family holidays should be planned within these dates.
A prompt arrival at school gives children the best possible start to the school day. The official start of the compulsory day is 9:00am. The school gate opens at 8:50am, which allows children time to have a soft start in class. We expect all pupils to walk directly to class and be ready for registration to take place promptly when the bell rings.
Late arrivals are disruptive to all pupils and leads to the loss of vital learning time, which can never be replaced. Persistent lateness has a long-term negative impact on the child involved. Being punctual enables children to establish a positive lifelong habit. Punctuality is as important at the end of the day as it is at the start of the day.
