  15. Mobile Phones • The school policy states that mobile phones (also includes other electronic devices) must not be brought into school. • If a phone is heard, used or seen during any point in the school day it will be confiscated and taken to reception until the end of the day • In the first confiscation incident the student will be able to sign it back out again. • For the second and further occasions where a phone is confiscated from a student the phone is to be collected by a parent/carer.

  16. Structure of the day

  17. Attendance • The students at the Becket have excellent attendance, this year it stands at 96.2%, target for next year is 97% • Important that students attend school • A student that 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 again 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 may be passed onto the Local Authority who then may issue a fine. This is in line with the Schools Multi Academy Trust

  18. Punctuality • Lateness can affect your attendance and your attainment. • We ask that students arrive at school at 8.30 ready for an 8.40 start to the school day • If they are late students are to sign in at the student services and will have a break detention (in less there is a valid reason) • 15 Minutes late each day = 8 days absence over a year

  19. 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 can be done on line or with a cheque or cash brought into school. • Letters will go out before the end of the summer term with log in details for SQUID to facilitate on line top up. • First two weeks we will arrange for students in year 7 to go to the Canteen at 12.05 rather than 12.15

  20. Who to contact • If you have any concerns or questions please contact the school • Form Tutor • Subject teacher • Progress Leader/Leader of Learning • Mrs Shenton – Assistant Head of Key Stage 3 You can either phone the school or email through the website. Your concern/question will be directed to the appropriate person
