Attendance and Punctuality

How do I manage my attendance?

• Ask your form tutor for your attendance percentage %
• Prioritise your learning
• Do not take holidays in term time, this is not allowed
• Fines
• Attendance plans – informal / formal
• Parents taken to court
• Attendance and punctuality (being on time) is a HABIT that continues into adulthood

Being on time means your child:

• Can say hello to their friends in the playground
• Can practice skills that will help to develop their learning and improve their confidence
• Can develop social skills
• Feels happy, relaxed and settled ready to start learning at 8.30 am

Being late means your child:

• Misses important social time with friends before the day begins
• Misses morning tasks that practice the ongoing key skills
• Misses vital school information being delivered, making it harder to communicate with teachers and peers during the school day
• Misses or coming in late to school assemblies
• Will be targeted to improve their punctuality, this will include contacting parents on a regular basis
