A SCHOOL has issued a plea to parents to bring their children to school on time, amid regular late arrivals.

Noak Bridge Primary, in Coppice Lane, Basildon, released the notice in its latest news letter to parents.

It says: “It has come to our attention that many pupils are arriving late to school on a regular basis.

“The classroom doors are open from 8.40am and pupils should be in class by 8.50am.

“If your children are consistently late then you will receive a phone call to support you with actions in order to improve your children’s punctuality.”
