School Times
Our expectation is that all students are in school for 8:20 am ready for their learning.
The student entrance in the KS3 yard (front of school) will be where uniform and equipment is checked before entering school.
Mobile phones will be visibly switched off at this point and placed in school bags as per the school policy.

Punctuality
Arrival at school Punctuality is an important life skill and we will do all we can to teach all students the importance of arriving on time and being prepared.
- Students are expected to arrive at the Academy at 08.20 am at the latest. This is when the whistle is blown giving all students 5 minutes to get to their form rooms and prepare for form time.
- We provide a free breakfast for all our students starting at 7.50 am until 08.15 am to encourage them to arrive ‘earlier’ and spend time settling themselves and preparing themselves for the school day.
Corrections (Detentions)
24 hours’ notice of a correction is no longer required. ‘Schools don’t have to give parents notice of after school detentions or tell them why a detention has been given’ (https://www.gov.uk/academydisciplineexclusions) However as an Academy, we will inform parents via Arbor of Corrections set after school. The purpose of Corrections is to improve behaviours and act as a deterrent for future misbehaviour.
Parental permission is also not required provided that staff have considered:
- The welfare of the child.
- Whether the child has caring responsibilities,
- Whether parents should be informed of the correction, any travel arrangements.
Inconvenience to the parents does not matter if the child has a means to get home safely. The Academy sets corrections for certain misconducts or poor behaviour choices.
