Holidays during term time
The demands of the curriculum and the statutory rules require that your child attends school for the whole of each term. From September 2013 the Government made it clear that Headteachers may not grant any leave of absence during term time unless there are exceptional circumstances. Fines may be imposed on parents who keep their children off school without permission. However if you wish to take your child out of school during the term time please complete the form below and return to the Headteacher.
