Attendance and Punctuality Policy

Why Attendance Matters

Consistent attendance is the foundation of academic success and personal growth.

  Should a pupil be unable to attend, parents are kindly requested to inform the school before 8:00 a.m. This courtesy ensures that the school can account for every child’s safety and learning progress.
