Punctuality
Do you know that children who arrive a few minutes late start the day feeling more stressed and do not make a positive start to their learning? They often miss out on key messages and education. It disrupts the education of the rest of the class.
Do you know that children should be in the playground at 8.45 a.m. ready to go into school at 8.50 a.m. promptly?
Being late to school has a significant impact on the amount of learning time lost over a school year.
The table gives you an indication of how much time is lost if regularly late.
How we can help you:
- Mrs J Shaw, our Family Support Worker, is available to discuss and support you and your child with any attendance and punctuality issues. We have a wider team with a variety of skills who can also offer support.
- Children can come to Breakfast Club 8.00 a.m. - 8.45 a.m. for £4.50. We offer a wide choice of food and an opportunity to socialise and play with other children. This is open for children in Nursery- Year 6.
- We will send you a record of your child’s attendance and punctuality in June each year. We can send information more regularly if requested.
- We have many staff who are First Aid trained. We have a special area where children can sit if they feel unwell. Staff will contact you if your child feels too ill to be in school. If you are in doubt, please send your child to school and we will contact you if necessary.
