Term time leave
As a school, we are not permitted to authorise holidays during term time and as such these will not be authorised. In exceptional circumstances (e.g. associated with bereavement and required to attend a funeral abroad) the Headteacher may consult with the Local Authority to take advice before authorisation is provided.
IMPORTANT
- Taking holidays during term time is not permitted and will be considered an unauthorised absence.
- The school is closed for 13 weeks each year, providing ample opportunity for holidays. Any term-time holiday will be followed up by our attendance officer and the local authority and a fine may, and is usually, issued.
- For any absence during term time, a Request for Absence form must be completed and returned to the school office. You can collect these from reception.
