School Attendance
Regular and punctual attendance ensures your children have full access to the entire curriculum without missing out on key learning opportunities available to them. Please ensure your child attends school and arrives on time. Good attendance ensures your children don’t miss out on key learning and can build upon their learning every day. Please ensure your child attends school and arrives on time. You can find our Attendance Policy here.
Registration/lateness
Children can enter the school grounds via the main gate from 8:30am as the playground is supervised by a member of staff from this time. The bell is rung at 8:40am at which point the children line up in their classes and their class teachers collect them from the playground. Children who arrive between 8:40am and 8:55am should go straight to their classroom via the playground.
Please ensure that your child arrives for school on time. If they arrive at school after the gates have closed, they will need to enter via the main School Office to sign in and be registered correctly.
Illness
If a child is unwell and cannot come to school, their parent/carer should call the School Office to inform us before 08:45. If we do not receive any contact from a parent/carer as to why a child is not in school then we will call home to check the reason for their absence.

Collecting your child:
At the end of the day parents enter via the bottom school gate and wait in the playground to collect, then leave via the main gate. The school day ends at 3:15pm and therefore, the total time the school day amounts to in a typical week is 32 hours and 30 minutes.
Only children in Year 6 will be allowed to walk home alone if we have already had written requests from parents. If you wish your child to walk home please ask the school office for a permission form.
Please speak to the school office or a member of SLT if you have any concerns.
Extra-Curricular Activities
We offer a wide range of free clubs that run both at lunchtime and after school. Our clubs are led by teachers and teaching assistants from the school.
