Teachers ensure pupils have their belongings and see them out of the classroom to the waiting parent, carer or responsible adult.

Children wait with the teacher until they are met. If children have not been collected by 3.15pm, the school office needs to be informed so that the Head or the Deputy can make arrangements.

Attendance Registers.

Attendance registers are to be marked twice daily at the beginning of the morning and afternoon sessions.

We ask all parents and carers to ring school and inform of any pupil absences before the beginning of the school day. The office staff will record the absence and inform individual class teachers. Unauthorised absences are investigated initially via a telephone call on the first day of unauthorised absence. However if unauthorised absences or lateness are persistent the Headteacher and if necessary the Education Social Worker will follow it up.
