Attendance

 

Maintaining a high standard of attendance and punctuality is essential for your child. The impact of persistent lateness is often more significant than it appears on the surface. We encourage you to consider the "Minutes Missed" principle: arriving just 5 minutes late every day results in 3 full days of lost learning over the course of an academic year. If that lateness increases to 15 minutes, your child misses the equivalent of two full weeks of engagement.
