Access to Academy Site

The blue gate, is open between 8:35am – 9:00am and at the end of the Academy Day, the blue gate will re-open at 3:05pm - 3:30pm to collect children.

Any children who are unable to be collected on time, will be taken to the school office. Please inform the school if you are going to be late collecting your child.  Children uncollected after 5pm will be transferred into the care of Croydon's Children's Services as required by the local authority.

Registration and late arrival

The Academy is committed to encouraging pupils to attend school regularly. We will work with parents and pupils to secure this aim. If you require any support, please arrange a meeting to see our attendance team or Educational Welfare Office (EWO).

Registration in the mornings for all year groups is at 8:55am. Any child arriving more than 5 minutes after this time should come into the Academy via the main office, inform the office staff of their arrival and sign in, giving a reason for their lateness. It’s essential that your child arrives promptly at the Academy because the day starts off with the teacher explaining the day’s learning to the class. Any child arriving after 9:20am will be recorded as an unauthorised absence unless an acceptable reason is given.

Afternoon registration takes place at 1:20 pm.  Children leaving the Academy other than at official times must be signed out at the main office

• Anyone arriving after 8:55am must bring their child to the office to sign in late. Children arriving late after 9.30am (after register closes) will receive an unauthorised absence for the morning.
   
• Parents/carers MUST telephone 020 8668 4877 (option 1 on the answerphone) or email the school on byron@oasisbyron.org school before 9.20am on the first day their child is not attending school due to illness detailing symptons and each subsequent day thereafter (unless a time of absence can be given on first day of illness eg: chickenpox).
   
• Failure to report illness before 9.20am on each day of illness results in unauthorised absence. 5 days unauthorised absence or more will be reported to the Education Attendance Service which could result in a fine.
   
• Unauthorised absence may result in a fine and possible court proceedings.
   
• A member of the attendance team will contact you if they have not received a reason to explain your child's absence.
   
• If necessary, a home visit will be carried out in order to check on the welfare of the child.
   
• If you require support with your child’s attendance, please contact the attendance team by calling the school office on 020 8668 4877

Medicines

If your child needs to take any form of medication,  parents will need to sign a medical administration form in the main office. Please see office staff to talk through any concerns.
