Attendance and Punctuality

The Academy is committed to encouraging pupils to attend school regularly.  We work with parents and pupils to secure this aim.

  • Academy gates open each day at 8.45am (anyone arriving after 8.55am must bring their child to the office to sign in late).
  • Children arriving after 9.30am will receive a code that represents they have arrived after the register has been closed. 
  • Parents/Carers MUST telephone the school before 9.20am on the first day their child is not attending school due to illness, and each subsequent day thereafter (unless a time of absence can be given on first day of illness eg:chickenpox).
  • Failure to report illness before 9.20am on each day will result in an unauthorised absence. FIVE days unauthorised absence or more will be reported to the Education Attendance Service.
  • Unauthorised absence could result in a fine and possible court proceedings.
  • We reward our children for attendance.
  • The school day finishes at 3.30pm
