Our school day runs from 8:45 - 3:15 on a Tuesday - Thursday, with doors opening at 8:35 to allow for children to be ready for their learning to start.

Together Days are a Monday and Friday.  On these days we ask children to be at school by 8:30 to allow for transportation to occur.  The school day ends at 3:45 on a Together Day.

Absence

If your child is too ill to attend school please call us between 8am and 9am to let us know and to give reasons for their absence.  It is important to note that schools are not obliged to mark an absence as authorised if we do not think the reason given is acceptable.  When you call the school office you may be diverted to one of the federation school sites where details can be left.

Punctuality

Punctuality is very important. Children need to arrive at school in good time, ready to start learning. Children who are not on time for school risk falling behind as they miss important learning time. It can be distressing for children to arrive late and have to join a lesson that has already started. 

Registers are taken at 8.45am. If a child arrives after 9.00am, this is recorded as an absence for the morning. 

The table below shows the impact of being late each day over the course of the school year.

Attendance Targets 

Attendance is monitored on a weekly basis by members of the senior leadership team. Because we have children who attend on a flexi-school basis, attendance targets vary. Please see below for minimum attendance expectations.
