Absence from school

If your child is absent you must phone the school on 0208 692 2762 before 10am, or email attendance@beecroftgarden.lewisham.sch.uk or report absence on the school app.

All absences will be followed up by the school.

All children should achieve at least 95% attendance and punctuality (our target is 97%). Any child whose attendance is 90% or less will be referred to Lewisham’s Attendance and Welfare Team.

Holidays will not be authorised during term time.

Late arrivals

If you arrive after the gates have closed, you are late.

Make your way to the visitors’ gate in Beecroft Road.

The school uses an electronic register to register children’s attendance in the morning and afternoon. This is done as soon as children enter the classroom at 8.45am and is sent electronically to the office.

Anyone arriving after the register has been taken will be marked as late.

Children in Years 5 and 6 should make their way straight to class once the bell has been rung.
