Dear Parents/Carers

 Attendance and Punctuality

To ensure that all students are able to learn in an uninterrupted and purposeful environment we would like to remind you of the following information that can be found within our attendance policy.

Students must arrive in school no later than 8:35am on each day of school. Registration begins from 8.40am daily. Students who arrive after this time but before 9.00am must sign in with the Student Services Manager at the main entrance. Those who arrive after 9.00am must sign in at the main reception. Students who arrive at school after 8:40am will be recorded as late and will be required to serve a 20 minute detention at 3:00pm on the same day.  This will take effect as of Monday 30 January 2023.

Expectations of this requirement have been shared to all students in assemblies this week.

We will always uphold consistently high expectations of our students and ask that you please support us as part of this process by ensuring that your child arrives at school before 8:40am, ideally by 8:30am, so that they are ready to start their learning at 8:40am. Any student who arrives after 8:40am will be required to serve a 20 minute detention at 3:00pm on the same day.

Should you have any queries about any of the information outlined above, please do not hesitate to contact the relevant College Admin Offices. 

On behalf of the academy, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your ongoing support.

Yours faithfully

Mr R Butler
