 SCHOOL
HOURS The school hours are
as follows: Key Stage 1
8.55am - 12.15pm
1.20pm - 3.20pm Key Stage 2
8.55am - 12.30pm
l.30pm - 3.20pm The school
accepts responsibility for the children from ten minutes
before the start of school and for ten minutes at the end of
the day. Please make sure that
your child arrives in time for school. A child who arrives
late interrupts the class and also misses valuable learning
time. Similarly, please make
sure that your child is collected from school on time. Young
children become very distressed if they are left waiting for
their parents. ATTENDANCE
Good attendance and punctuality are
expected of each child. If children are absent, parents must
telephone or send a note to the school explaining the reason
for the absence. Absence is recorded in the register as
authorised or unauthorised if no reason is given.
We have approximately 12 weeks holiday
each year. It is hoped, that family holidays will be taken
during the school holidays. However if this is not possible
a maximum of two weeks’ holiday during term time is
permissible each year for the purpose of accompanying
parents on their annual holiday. Any requests for absence
should be made on our application for absence form and
returned to the Headteacher.
Children who are absent from school for any length of time
cannot take full advantage of all that life at school has to
offer, both in terms of their academic achievement and
social relationships. During the
school day children are not allowed to leave school unless
they are accompanied by a parent or responsible adult. A
note, or telephone call is also required if a child is to
leave the school during the day for any reason.
Long term absence without good reasons,
and frequent lateness, will be brought to the attention of
the Education Welfare Officer who may then visit the
parents. The Education Officer visits the school regularly
and checks for lateness and absence.
ROUTINE MESSAGES
Mrs Hammond, one of our Support Staff is
available in the playground, before school. Any routine
message may be given to her and she will inform the teacher
concerned or the school secretary. |
