A bell signals the start and end of registration and lesson periods. A warning bell will ring at 8.25am to give students time to make their way to their tutor bases for morning registration at 8.30am. Children arriving to school after 8.30am will be marked as late by the Attendance Officer on the gate. The security gates at both entrances to the school will lock at 9.00am; please ensure that your child has enough time to travel to school.
Once the gates are closed, children will need to access the school via the visitor reception, where they will sign-in with the Attendance Officer.
If children need to leave during the day, they should sign-out the visitor reception at E block and then exit the school site. Parents collecting children should park in the visitor car park and inform the receptionist of who is being collected. At the end of the day, the visitor car park gate will close at 2:55pm and re-open at 3.15pm to ensure the safety of pupils leaving the school site.
