Attendance

• The students at The Becket School have excellent

attendance.

• A student who has 95% attendance misses 3

months of school over 5 years.

• If your child is ill or cannot come into school, please

contact the office before 8.30 to report the absence.

• Any long term medical concerns that could have an

impact on attendance please let the Progress Leader know along with providing any appropriate medical documents.

• We do not authorise any holidays or personal trips;

any unauthorised absence maybe passed onto the Local Authority who then may issue a fine. This is in line with the Multi Academy Trust.

Punctuality

• Lateness can affect your attendance and your attainment.
• 15 minutes late each day = 8 days absence over a year.
• We ask that students arrive at school at 8.30 ready for an 8.40

start to the school day.

• If they are late but arrive before 9.00, they will have their

conduct card signed by a Progress Leader/Reception.

• 5 signatures on a conduct card (other signatures may be for
• ther incidents that do not follow the Becket Way) will lead to

a 30 minute detention that day.

• If a student arrives after 9.00 a text is sent to parents/carers

and an after school detention is issued immediately, this will be a same day 30 minute detention.

Lunch/Canteen

• Cashless catering – biometric information taken from finger

(takes several points on finger to store this data).

• Take this information on the visit days.
• Top up must be done on line.
• Letters will go out before the end of the summer term with

log in details for SQUID to facilitate online top up.

• First two weeks we will arrange for students in Year 7 to go to

the Canteen at 12.00 rather than 12.15.

Please note that on the visit days they will need to bring a packed lunch.
