Attendance Expectations
Pupils are expected to arrive into school at 8.45am and classroom doors will close at 9.00am. Any children arriving after 9.00am will need to enter school via the main office. Arrivals between 9.00am and 9.30am (the time when registers close) will be marked with an L code (‘late before registers close’) and any arrivals after 9.30am, without a viable reason previously communicated to the school, will be marked using a U code (‘unauthorised absence, after registers close’).
Reporting Absence
In the case of absence, parent’s must leave a voicemail on the absence line before 8.45am.
- Please clearly state your child’s name, class and reason for absence.
- This must be done for every day of absence.
Lepton CE Primary Academy and the local authority take safeguarding and the welfare of our pupils very seriously, and unexplained absence is the first sign of a potential safeguarding issue. You can see what actions we will take in this scenario in our attendance expectation later viewable and downloadable below.
