In DPETNS we believe that good attendance has a positive impact on a child’s social, emotional and educational development. We are committed to providing a positive school atmosphere which is conducive to promoting good school attendance. Children are encouraged and expected to attend school regularly.
We ask parents to please make every effort to have their children in their lines by 8.45am. Reception Time runs from 8:45am to 9:00am. This is a great time for children to socialise with their peers and settle into the school day before they start their formal learning at 9:00am. In DPETNS, children will be welcomed to school no matter what time they arrive at.
