At the beginning of the school day a bell will be rung at 8.50 am for the children to line up in the playground with their teacher. The children will then walk into school with us ready to begin the day at 8.55 am. At the end of the day staff hand over the children to their parents in the playground. Children are not allowed to leave the site unless a parent or other known adult [18 years or over] is there to collect them.

Attendance and Punctuality
Many of our children have an excellent record of attendance and punctuality, which we aim to maintain and, if possible, improve upon.
Please inform school as soon as possible regarding the reason for any unavoidable absence, as attendance is carefully monitored. We are happy to help with any problems you may have regarding attendance and will, of course, contact you if we have any concerns. In the rare cases of frequent or unauthorised absences, and persistent lateness, the Education Welfare Service will be involved.
Please report to the School Office if you bring your child to school late or need to collect your child early. It is important for us to have an accurate record of all children who are in school for Health & Safety reasons.
Holidays should not be taken during term time. In exceptional circumstances, permission to withdraw a pupil from school for a holiday must be applied for in advance. Please apply in writing to the Deputy Headteacher.
