Please ensure that your child arrives to school on time each day. The school gates open at 8:40am. Registration starts at 8.45am and teaching begins at 8:50am.
Poor punctuality has a detrimental effect on a child’s learning. If a child is coming in to school late every day, they are missing the important start of a lesson and causing disruption to the class.
