Late To School
A student is late to school if they attend after 8:20am, Form Tutors will mark student present with a ‘L’ and record the number of minutes late after 8:20am. The student will receive a lunch time detention on the same day, where they can get support to help them arrive to school on time.
A student who signs in late at reception after 8.50 will receive a 'U 'code. This means that their attendance for the morning is 0%. The student will also get a late detention but may also be placed on report to try and improve their punctuality. The 'U' code will affect the students attendance, which if continued will result in a fine.
Visit our Attendance page and find out why attendance is so important and the detention procedure we have in place if your child is late.
