Holidays During Term Time
Holidays requested during term time cannot be authorised and therefore a fine will be issued to you by Sandwell Attendance and Prosecution.
Punctuality
We appreciate the efforts that our parents and carers make in order to get their children into school on time. Poor punctuality can affect learning and behaviour. The start of the day is when the teacher informs the class of what the day ahead will look like. Learning begins from the moment they enter the classroom. It is not only the pupil who is late that is affected. It has an impact on all other learners if a child walks in late, as the teacher is then required to recap on missing learning for that child. This reduces learning time for the rest of the class. It is important now more than ever to get your child into school on time.
Thank you
