Registration
Section 1c - General Information
Registration - Senior School
The registration of pupils, both in the morning and in the afternoon, is a legal requirement. All
parents and pupils need to be aware that attendance at registration is compulsory.
Times of Registration
Morning registration takes place between 8.25 - 8.30am. It is essential that all pupils attend this
registration punctually.
In order to make reasonable allowance for delayed buses, traffic problems, etc., the morning period
of registration remains 'open' until 9.00am. Therefore, if a pupil arrives before 9.00am and signs in
at reception, they are marked as present in the register by the School Secretary. All arrivals after
9.00am must be accompanied by a letter of explanation from parents. However, a student
arriving after 8.30am will be marked late. Students arriving late for registration should expect to be
challenged by their Tutor on arrival at School.
There is no afternoon registration. All pupils will be registered during P5. However, there may
be occasions where Sixth Form pupils have permission to leave before this time or where sports
fixtures or examinations mean that pupils are away. In these cases, Form Tutors must be informed
by letter about absences so that the registers can be marked appropriately. Failure to attend
registration without a reasonable excuse will lead to a School detention. Repeated failure to attend
registration may lead to harsher sanctions.
Signing In and Out
There will be occasions during the School day when a pupil arrives at or leaves the School at times
other than those scheduled. In order that the School roll is accurate, we operate a signing in and out
system at School reception or in the Sixth Form Centre for Sixth Form pupils.
The sheets for this system are kept in reception. If a pupil arrives after registration or if he/she
comes into School once the School day has begun then he/she must report to reception to sign in.
Likewise, if a pupil leaves the campus before 4.10 pm then he/she must inform reception before
departing and where possible show the member of staff on duty a signed letter giving them
permission to leave School. If a student needs to leave early, permission must be sought from their
Head of Year beforehand in the form of a written note from their parents.
In a similar manner, Sixth Form pupils must sign in/out in the Sixth Form Centre, having first
received permission from the Head of the Sixth Form, Head of Year or member of the Senior
Leadership Team to do so.
Sixth Form pupils are not allowed to leave School if they have study periods in the afternoon. All
Sixth Form pupils must remain in School and complete private study in the Rosmini Sixth Form
Study Centre.
