St Mary's CofE Primary School
Attendance and punctuality
Good attendance at school is vital.
At St Mary's, we expect all children to attend every day as long as they are fit and healthy enough to do so.
Each week, we celebrate the class(es) with the highest attendance in our Friday award assembly. We also celebrate 100% attendance for individuals at the end of each term with postcards and a prize draw.
Punctuality
If your child is late, you will need to enter via the office area to log their arrival.
Illness
If your child is absent due to illness, you need to let us know at the start of each day that they will be off. A telephone call, letter or personal contact is required. The school monitors all pupils’ attendance and punctuality carefully.
Appointments
Where possible, appointments should always be made outside of school hours. Children who need to leave the school during the school day for an appointment must be collected from the office area and proof of appointment provided.
Our school day
At St. Mary's, our doors open for Year 5 and 6 at 8:45am and at 8:55am for the rest of the school. Registration closes at 9:05am. Our school day ends at 3.15pm.
