Can I take my child on holiday in school term time?
We advise that you do not take your child out of school on holiday during term time. It is really important that your child attends school as often as possible, as regular attendance will support your child making maximum progress.
If an absence in term time is unavoidable (exceptional circumstances) then you will need to write a letter to the Head Teacher seeking permission and outlining the reasons for your request. You will need to be aware that your request may not be granted.
Do I need to let the school know if my child is going to be absent?
Parents should contact school on the first day of their child’s illness. Pupil illness can be reported by voicemail to the absence mailbox, email, ParentMail or telephone call. Parents should also inform school if their child has any medical appointments in school time.
