We appreciate that sometimes late arrival is unavoidable – things happen!

When ‘signing in’ a late arriving child, please could parents and carers take the time to specify the reason. Lots of people just write ‘late’ but that is not something we are allowed to submit on our registers as a valid reason. We need to record the ‘why’ on our registers, which we are legally obliged to complete accurately and  correctly and submit to the Department for Education.

To end this piece, a reminder that registration is at 8:45. Children are supposed to be in the classroom for that, so should be on the playground no later than 8:40.  To support this, we do offer an extended window of arrival from 8:25 onwards. Late arrival causes disruption to the learning of others. Our thanks, of course, for all the times the children are on time, which for the great majority is always!
