Unfortunately, some children still arrive late for school and warning letters have been given to those parents whose child has been late on several occasions.

Please make sure you give yourselves plenty of time to travel  and particularly to park your car safely if you come by car.
Children don’t like being late as they miss the start of a lesson, sometimes feel embarrassed, miss out on being able to talk to their teacher in the morning or they miss out on finding out what they are learning.

If your child arrives late on several occasions, you  may receive a warning letter and be asked to attend a meeting with the school's attendance lead or other senior member of staff to explain the reasons for your child's lateness. The school will work with you in finding solutions if there are genuine difficulties. However, if lateness persists, you will be invited to a further meeting with the local authority's educational welfare officer (EWO) and the persistent lateness may well lead to the issue of a fixed penalty notice.
