School Entrances

  • The main gate is open from 8.30 am - 8.50 am each morning.   Children must be in class by 8.50am (8.45am for Nursery).
  • Any child arriving after 8.50 am must report to the school office, at the main reception area of the school.

Attendance and Punctuality

  • Parents have the responsibility to ensure that their child attends school every day, and arrives on time for school each morning.
  • Children need to be in class by 8:50 am.
  • Registers close at 8.50 am.
  • Children who arrive after this time will be recorded as late.  Children who arrive late miss an important part of the school day and this can affect their self-esteem and learning.

If you know your child will be late to school please telephone to inform us.

Absence

We encourage families to ensure that their child attends school every day so that they have a love of learning and reach their full potential. 

Please read the Attendance and Punctuality section in the Parent Zone as it provides important information on how we monitor attendance at Wessex Gardens Primary and Nursery School, and  support families to enable every child to have excellent attendance.
