Attendance and School times

At Lakenheath Community Primary School we are committed to providing an education of the highest quality for all its pupils and recognises this can only be achieved by supporting and promoting excellent attendance for all. This is based on the belief that only attending regularly and punctually will children and young people be able to take full advantage of the educational opportunities available to them. High attainment depends on good attendance.

It is very important to that your child attends school to ensure continuity of learning, the school day starts with registration at 8.45am and finishes at 3.15pm this totals 32.5 hours per week including break and lunchtimes.

If your child is unable to attend school for any reason you must inform the school before 09:00 am on the day of absence.
It is important we know where your child is as we have to instigate an investigation if a pupil is missing from class.
