Punctuality and attendance reminder

 
Dear parents/Carers,
A reminder that school starts and registers are taken at 8:50am.  
We open the doors from 8:40 am. 
Please make every effort to ensure that your child arrives atschool in good time to start their day at 8:50 am. 
We undertsand that emergencies happen from time to time however, we have noticed that an increasing number of children are arriving late in the mornings which is disruptive to the children  and also to staff. For example this morning , Mrs Antrobus had to leave her desk 12 times to let late children in and take them to their classes, teachers have had to re-open their registers and in some cases stop to sort out dinners when they have already started  teaching activities. This has a big impact on the start of the child’s day. 
We appreciate your help and understanding with this matter.
