Lateness

Children arriving late may seriously disrupt not only their continuity of learning but also that of others. When pupils arrive late after the close of registers and fail to provide an adequate explanation they are marked as unauthorised for that session. 

If your child is late to school they might:

• Be embarrassed or unsettled
• Miss important information
• Miss the start of the learning
• Miss opportunities to socialise with their friends at the start of the school day

10 minutes late every day = 36 hours lost learning each year (Over a week of school missed).
