Being late wont effect me or my life!

2. Impact around school (form)
Unnecessary way of getting yourself a debit as well as a 10 minute break time detention.
Continual lateness can end up with you being taken off of after school clubs and teams.
Continual lateness can end up with you being put on a punctuality report.

3. Impact around school (lessons)
If you end up coming in a lesson or 2 late, this can have an impact on your education.
You have a 5 minute window between lessons and after break/lunch to get across school and even make a toilet break.
The furthest points in school are 1 minute and 30 seconds away from each other; 5 minutes is more than enough time!
If you are more than 5 minutes, then you will be given a 30 minute detention.
Teachers and heads of years will also check your lateness and decide on the next steps to take with you.

4. Impact outside of school
As teachers and form tutors, we try to get you prepared for life after school. This is why we keep on top of punctuality and lateness because this will be a skill you will need for the rest of your life.
If you turned up late for an interview, the employer is in a position where they could ask you to leave.
If you turned up late for work on several occasions, your employer has the right to give you a disciplinary or fire you.
If you turned up late for an appointment, be it a doctors or opticians appointment, you could be turned away and asked to rebook.

5. Improvements you could make
If you keep turning up late for form; then leave your house a bit earlier.
If your excuse is “I overslept” then go to bed earlier or put an earlier alarm on to make sure you do not oversleep.
If its because you were waiting for your friends, then go on without them. You will have plenty of time to see them at break and lunch time.

6. Next Steps
So just think about it. Was that 2 or 3 minutes you were late really worth the 10 minute detention (form) or 30 minute detention (lesson) and the debit?
Every time you are late, you are wasting YOUR break time or after school.
Make sure you get yourself to form and lessons on time otherwise you only have yourself to blame for the consequences.
