Attendance and Lateness

Regular school attendance and arriving on time each day play a vital role in your child’s academic success and overall development.

When students arrive at school on time, they begin the day calmly, participate in morning routines, and are prepared to learn from the very first lesson. Arriving just a few minutes late can cause a child to miss important instructions, classroom discussions, upcoming events and information and opportunities to connect with their peers.

Daily attendance is just as important. When students miss days, it becomes harder to stay on track with classwork, homework and assessment tasks. Over time, these absences can create noticeable learning gaps.

Being present also helps students develop our core school values and character traits. These skills will benefit them throughout their educational journey and in life generally.

If your family is facing challenges that affect attendance or lateness, please make contact with your child’s Tutor Group teacher or relevant Head of Year.
