School Times

Session Times

Nursery (part-time):

8:45am – 11.45am – Morning

12.00pm – 3.00pm – Afternoon

Upper Foundation, Key Stage 1 and 2: 

8.45am – 12.00pm and 1.00pm – 3.15pm

We ensure pupils have access to the minimum requirement of 32.5 hours.

Class Registers are taken between 8.50 am and 9.00 am. Children have until 8:55 am to arrive in the class – at 8:55 am key stage doors are closed and after this children must enter school via reception where they should be signed in by parent/carer.

Children arriving between 9.00 am and 9.10 am will be marked as late; arrival after 9.10 am will be recorded as an unauthorised absence.

If a pupil has a period of 10 lates in the academic year the academy has the right to record any further lates as unauthorised absence.  The policy is in line with Wakefield Council Code of Conduct on Penalty Notices and falls under Section 44 of the Education Act 1996.

Student Absence

Please let us know before 9am or as soon as you can if your child is unwell and unable to attend school.  This can be done by phoning 01924 624490 and speaking to Mrs Morgan or a member of the office staff or leaving a voicemail message.  If we have not heard from you by 9.10 am you should expect to receive contact from Mrs Morgan or office staff to ascertain reason for absence.

Where a pupil has 10 or more unauthorised absences, the School will work with the Education Welfare Department to seek a penalty notice. Where a pupil’s absence falls below acceptable standards, parents will be contacted to discuss the situation. Children below 90% attendance are classed as “Persistent Absentees”. Children have a right to full attendance, not a term time holiday. Please see the Multi Academy Trust Attendance Policy for more details.
