Late Procedures and Important Dates

Dear Parents,

Here are some dates for the term and an update.

Late procedures

Thank you all for your patience while we try out our new procedure. As with all new systems there will be ‘teething’ problems. Our intent is not to cause upset to the children- we want to find the most effective way to monitor lateness.  To improve the system, the bell will ring at 9 o’clock, so that the juniors and the infants use the same time. If you are late, please take your child to the main reception, where there will be a member of staff who will sign in your child for you and take them over to their individual class as soon as possible.  (This applies from nursery to yr 2. Junior pupils can be signed in by the administrative staff). This should reduce any delay in the reception area. We ask you to drop them off instead of taking them over to class, as this has reduced disruption to the start of the lesson. The benefits so far have been quicker registration time, which means pupils start their activities on time and dinner numbers are being recorded accurately.  Your child will be marked as late on the class register as before- this hasn’t changed. We realise that some mornings don’t go according to plan and on such occasions we will understand and do everything we can to help if there is a problem. This system means that we will be able to monitor persistent lateness effectively. We realise that there may be some inconvenience, and we take all comments on board. Please be assured that we are continuing to refine the process so that we have an accurate picture that addresses this Welsh Government priority.

Many thanks for your continued co-operation.
