Holiday In-Term Time Policy

Headteachers cannot authorise holidays in term time unless in exceptional circumstances. Family holidays are not deemed by law to be exceptional circumstances. Families will run the risk of being fined if they do decide to take their children out of school in term time. If you have any queries regarding this, please speak to our Headteacher, Abi Oldfield or Attendance Lead, Rachel Hayward.
