Children should arrive in school between 8.45 and 8.55 am on Windsor Drive and 9.10am on Ridgeway Avenue. If they are late they should sign in the Late File kept in the Office area. Children arriving after the close of registration (after 9.15 am) without prior notification, will be recorded as an unauthorised absence.
Children who are persistently late will be referred to the Education Welfare Team.
The best way to avoid such action being taken is to get the children to school on time. Starting good habits from an early age is essential. If your child learns the importance of coming to school every day and being on time, then these good habits are likely to continue throughout their education and working life.
If your child is not in school, then they cannot learn.
If they miss school, they miss out.
Please help us to continue getting children here on time and prepared for the school day.
Give your child a head start by ensuring that they are in School every day and arrive on time.
