What happens if I am late to school? Hopefully, you will always be on time for school. Punctuality is a very important quality to have. However, on occasions it may be unavoidable; perhaps you have a dentist appointment early in the morning which means you come into school late. In every case the procedure is the same. You must sign in at reception immediately on arrival and then go straight to your Tutor period, lesson or to assembly. It is really important for fire procedures that we know exactly who is on the school site at any time. (Even your teachers have to sign in and out of school during the day!) What happens if I need to leave school early? First of all, you must NEVER leave school without permission from a member of staff. If you have an appointment, you need to bring in a letter from your parents. Give this to your Form Tutor or Head of Year. They will sign your planner giving permission for you to leave. This must be shown to the office staff when you sign out. When it is time to leave, you must sign out at reception. If you later return to school, you must sign in at reception. If you are unwell, report to the Medical Centre. If you need to go home, Medical Sister will contact your parents. Unplanned absence What happens if I am absent from school? If you are ill (or delayed getting to school), your parents should telephone the school (01509 817000) as soon as possible. When you return to school you must bring in a note addressed to the Form Tutor indicating the reasons for absence. Planned absences We ask your parents not to disturb your education by taking you out of school during the term. In exceptional circumstances, if parents wish their child to be away from school at any time during term, they should write/email to the Headmaster well in advance to request leave of absence. For brief absences for things such as dental appointments etc, the Head of Year may give permission. Students must follow the procedures for signing in and out. 15

Please also inform the Medical Department and your Head of Year. At tea time (4.10pm – 4.40pm), a drink and a snack is available for those of you staying in school for prep and activities after school. The Refectory Café sells tuck at breaktime and the Rosmini Sixth Form Centre has a café on the ground floor, selling a range of drinks and snacks. The school tries to ensure that a balanced range of products is available to pupils and we have introduced 'healthy options' wherever possible. Drinking water machines are located at various points around the school and the Refectory Café is open at breaktime for pupils to have a drink of water if required. 16
