Equality and Inclusion

Attendance and Punctuality

We take attendance and punctuality very seriously at The Little one School. Each year we have to report to the attendance comity absences and the percentage of attendances. Each individual pupils' attendance figures are reported at the end of each term.

Registers close at 9.15am each morning and 1.15 each afternoon, which means if your child arrives after these times they are considered absent. It is very important that pupils arrive on time for school. A pupil arriving late has a negative impact on their learning and also the learning of others in the class. The school will contact parents of pupils who regularly arrive late or leave early.

In the case of absence due to illness, the school must be informed on the first day absence by 9.15am in order for us to record the absence as authorised. This should be done by telephone/Email/Whatsapp or in person. There may be occasions that the school will require medical evidence as proof of illness. Individual absences are scrutinised and parents will be contacted to find out the reasons for poor attendance / punctuality. Holidays may be authorised by the school in certain circumstances. Please make an appointment with Mr Walters to discuss this. Help us to achieve our whole school target of 95% by sending your child to school every day. Not only does it help them to learn, it develops their social and interaction skills.

Charging and Remission

As part of our curriculum we link topics with educational visits. We have to ask for voluntary contributions from parents to cover the cost of these visits. We always try to find ways to keep costs to a minimum, but if not enough money is received then trips and visits may be cancelled. Please read our policy on the website for more details.

School Discipline

All pupils are expected to follow the values of the school and to behave in a way which demonstrates respect to others. To achieve this, we require your full support. We have a positive behaviour policy and anti-bullying policy. A member of staff will contact parents immediately if there are any issues related to behaviour. Please come and talk to us immediately if you have any concerns. Please read the policies on the website for more details.
