Term Time Leave

Whilst school acknowledges that work commitments and financial consideration may put pressure on parents to take holidays during term time, current government legislation does not allow authorised time away from school unless in ‘exceptional circumstances’.

Any leave during term time must be applied for prior to the leave dates required. The Headmistress will review each individual application, taking into account the overall attendance of the child and the individual circumstances of the request. and you will be notified of her decision.

Any absence taken without an accepted explanation will automatically be recorded as UNAUTHORISED ABSENCE.
