Annual Holidays

Holidays during term time do cause disruption to your child's education and lack of attendance can affect performance and standards.  It is not a right to take children on holiday during term time.  In exceptional circumstances the headteacher may authorise permission.  If you want to make a request please print and complete the holiday form and hand it in to the office with an accompanying letter explaining why the holiday must be taken in term time.  Copies are also available from the display board in reception.
