School Holidays and Attendance

Our Approach to Attendance

We are reviewing this page and will be adding further information here soon.

The School Attendance Officer

P1080346

Lesley Sabourn works with the school to improve pupil attendance.

School Holiday Dates

Please note that voluntary aided (church) schools, foundation schools and academies may have set different dates and you should check with the school or academy to confirm their arrangements or view the PDF for schools not following the standard term and holiday dates.

School Holidays 2020 – 2021

Application for leave of absence during term time

The Government has amended regulations for taking holidays in term time and these new regulations come into effect from September 2013.

Head teachers have the discretion to grant leave, but they should only do so in exceptional circumstances. If a head teacher grants a leave request, it will be for them to determine the length of time that the child can be away from school. This leave is unlikely, however, to be granted for the purposes of a family holiday. Parents can be fined for taking their child on holiday during term time without consent from the school.  Please complete page one of the Leave of Absence Application Form  and submit to Mrs Burgess for consideration.

Please contact the school if you wish to discuss this with the Headteacher.
