Punctuality • 15 mins detention • 30 mins detention • Head / SLT hour detention • Inclusion • If your daughter is ‘only’ five minutes late every morning: • 5 x 190 days = 950 minutes per school year • 950 minutes per school year = nearly 16 hours of schooling • 16 hours of schooling = 16 hours of valuable lesson time = more than 3 whole days!!
