11. Punctuality
Importance of punctuality – Non-uniform day
‘Every Second Counts!’
Did you know..?
If your child is late 10 minutes every day, then over the course of a year, they will miss out on
32.5 hours of learning time – which is the same as being absent for more than a full week of
school!
We want to work together with parents to provide children with the best possible start in life.
Part of our role as adults is helping the children we take care of to develop important life
skills. Attendance and punctuality are two very important life skills.

moving on before children have embedded a skill or concept.

longer be given the label of 3a, 4c etc………..
•Teachers will now be able to tell you if your child is on track to meet
year group expectations.

curriculum your child needs to develop further in.
•There will still be formal assessments in years 2 and 6, however the
government are still finalising their eventual layout.
