Arriving on time at school is essential for several reasons. Firstly, it ensures that pupils are present for the start of lessons, allowing them to engage fully with the curriculum and setting a positive tone for the day.

Punctuality helps establish a consistent routine, fostering self-discipline and organisational skills vital for future success. It also demonstrates respect for teachers and peers, as arriving late can disrupt lessons and distract others.

Being on time maximises learning opportunities and reinforces our commitment to ensuring a positive and effective learning environment for all pupils.
