Importance of Good Attendance & Punctuality 

The school day starts at 8.45 to 9.00am (Soft Start). We expect our children to be in the playground ready to go into their classroom. Parents must use the Halifax or Gordon Road gate to enter the playground.

Registers are marked by 9.00am and children will receive a late mark if they are not in by that time. At 9.15am the registers will be closed. In accordance with the Regulations, if your child arrives after that time, they will receive a mark that shows them to be on site, but this will not count as a present mark and it will mean they have an unauthorised absence. This may mean that parents could face the possibility of a referral to the Educational Welfare Officer if the problem persists.

At St George’s we encourage good punctuality by being good role models to our pupils and celebrate good class punctuality.
