We have high expectations of attendance and punctuality. Please ensure that your child arrives promptly to begin lessons. Please see the timetable below for times.

Any pupil arriving at school after the official start of the school day is classed as late and will be monitored by the senior staff in school and the Academy.

Please collect your child/children on time at the end of the school day. All late collections are monitored by senior staff and the Academy.
