Attendance

• Please ensure your child is in school for 7:50am.

• Registers are taken at 8am and it is important that your child is sitting in their seat ready for the school day. This will give them a good start to the day and also receive important messages from the Form Tutor.

• If for any reason your child is late, always ensure they sign in at Reception.

• For ANY absences, parents should use the School Gateway App to inform the school. Details must include child’s name and form and reason for absence.

• Medical appointments should always be made outside of school hours where possible. Where this is not possible, evidence of your child’s appointment must be sent 48 hours in advance to welfare@gnsa.co.uk.
