Our school day for ALL year groups:

GATES OPEN: 8.35am

Children are expected to be in class, ready to start their learning/lessons by 8.45am

FINISH:- 3.15 pm

Total teaching time: 32.5 hours per week.

REGISTRATION AND ATTENDANCE

A child will be marked as late on the register with an "L" if they arrive after 8.45am but before the register closes at 9am.

A child will be marked as late on the register with a "U" if they arrive after the register closes at 9am.

Attendance is monitored and if a child receives regular late marks (either L or U) then this affects their overall attendance data and may trigger involvement from outside support services.

Currently, we do not issue families with fines for non-attendance.

This is under review.

HOLIDAYS

If you choose to take a holiday during term time, you will be asked to fill out a holiday form which can be requested at the school office. Unless there are exceptional circumstances, your holiday will not be an authorised absence, and again, continued absence and holiday requests could lead to involvement from outside support services.

If you have any questions regarding holidays, please talk to Hannah in the office at Balderton site or call her on 01636 683550.
