Attendance

Parents are legally responsible for the continuing attendance of their child at school. Attendance is compulsory during the normal school hours and absences can greatly affect your child’s progress. Students are not allowed off the school premises during school hours

Absences or Late Arrival

If you are absent for any period of time, you must provide a note to your Tutor Group teacher. Alternatively you can phone the school and have a message passed on. Students are expected to be on time at the beginning of the day and to all their classes. Students arriving late are disruptive to the class and interfere with other student's leaning. Following lateness to school on 3 occasions, an after-school detention will be issued. Lateness to class is dealt with by the classroom teacher.

Uniform

Students are expected to be in full school uniform every day. Sports Uniforms are required for Sport and PE classes.
