Attendance and Punctuality
Attendance
Good attendance and punctuality are paramount to our pupils' success.At St Vincent's, we want pupils to receive a full-time education that ultimately supports each pupil to thrive. Our school is a welcoming, caring place, whereby each member of the school community feels safety and belonging.
Our school staff will work with pupils and their families to ensure each pupil is here every day, ready to learn and on time. We have an effective system of incentives and rewards that acknowledges the efforts of pupils to improve their attendance and timekeeping, and we challenge the behaviour of those pupils and parents who give low priority to attendance and punctuality.
All illnesses must be reported to the office by 9:00am and on each consecutive day of absence.
If your child needs to visit the dentist or doctor please try to make appointments outside of school time if possible or at the end of the morning or afternoon session – evidence of all medical appointments must be provided for the absence to be recorded as authorised, e.g. appointment letters/cards.
Punctuality
Your child will be marked ‘late’ if they arrive into school after registration closes (9:01am – 9:06am).
