As part of our drive to improve attendance and punctuality, we will be monitoring students who are missing a tutor mark.  If there is no valid reason why they have missed tutor time, we will issue a sanction after school.  We would like to remind parents and students that tutor time is a compulsory part of the school day where important notices, assemblies and the CPS Character Education programme is shared.
