Year 4

Class Name

Kingfishers – Mrs Kelly

School Day

Doors opens at	8:40 am
Register	8:40 am - 8:55 am

Children who arrive after 8:45 am but before 9:15 am will be marked as 'Late' (L) whilst the register is open. This will not affect the attendance percentage but persistent lateness will lead to parents meeting with senior leaders to discuss possible support and find solutions to prevent further lateness. Failure to improve lateness may lead to parents been reported to the Local Authority Attendance Team.

Children who arrive after 9:15 am (All year groups) will be marked as 'Late' (U) after the register has closed. This will count against the attendance rate. Persistent lateness after 9:15 am will raise safeguarding concerns and further actions will be taken to support the parents to improve the attendance rate. Parents will be reported to the Local Authority Attendance Team who may have direct involvement with parents.

Communication with the Team

Morning communications when children arrive must be brief (teachers are busy starting lessons). If needed, hand over a written note to provide more detail and we can phone you during the day.

Teachers are usually available at the end of each day for a short chat if needed.

Alternatively send an email to office@silverstone.pdet.org.uk and this will be forwarded to Mrs Kelly.

Equipment

Due to very small cloakrooms it is helpful if children only bring a small bag into school. Checking their school bags daily is a good habit to get into.
