School Holidays During Term Time
Please note that the law currently states that headteachers can not grant any leave of absence in term time unless there are exceptional circumstances. If you take your child out of school without the school’s permission, you could receive a fine from the local authority. Please plan your family holidays with the school term dates in mind to avoid the possibility of a fine.
Please contact the school office for a leave of absence form if you need to take your child out of school during term time.
