Attendance & School Timings Policy

1. Purpose

Regular attendance and punctuality help children develop positive routines, social relationships and continuity in learning.

This policy explains the School’s attendance, arrival, departure, absence and authorised handover procedures.

2. School Timings

Programme timings will be communicated to parents at the beginning of the academic year and whenever changes are required.

Parents should follow the timings officially communicated for their child’s programme.

School timings may vary according to programme, special activities, events and operational requirements.

3. Arrival Procedures

Parents or authorised caregivers should bring children to the designated arrival area within the communicated reporting time.

Children must be handed over to an authorised staff member. Children should not be left unattended at the school entrance or premises.

4. Departure Procedures

Children will be released only to:

• A parent or legal guardian.
• A person authorised in writing by the parent or guardian.
• Another person specifically approved through the School’s authorised collection procedure.

The School may request identity verification before releasing a child. Parents must notify the School in advance of any authorised pickup changes.

5. Late Arrival

Parents should inform the School if a child is expected to arrive late.

Repeated late arrival may be discussed with parents to support a consistent routine.

6. Absence

Parents are requested to notify the School when a child is absent.

Where absence continues for several days, the School may contact the family to check on the child’s wellbeing.

Medical or other supporting documents may be requested only where reasonably necessary.

7. Early Departure

Where a child needs to leave before the scheduled closing time, the parent or authorised guardian should notify the School.

Early departure must be recorded through the School’s designated procedure.

8. Attendance Records

The School may maintain attendance records for educational administration, child supervision and parent communication.

Attendance information will be handled in accordance with the applicable privacy and data protection requirements.

9. School Holidays and Closures

The academic calendar, holidays and planned closures will be communicated through official school channels.

Unexpected closures due to weather, emergencies, government directions or safety concerns will be communicated as soon as practicable.

10. Parent Responsibilities

Parents should:

• Follow the communicated timings.
• Ensure authorised handover and collection.
• Update emergency contact details.
• Inform the School of planned absences.
