Advance warning – attendance
From 4th September 2018, there will be changes to our Term Time Leave policy.
Please be aware that there will also be an important change in terms in punctuality. Currently our registers close at 9:25am; from 4th September 2018, registers will close at 9:10am, meaning that any late marks before this time will be authorised but late marks after this time will be unauthorised (unless proof of a medical appointment is shown).
Further details regarding these changes will follow in September.
