Holidays are not permitted in term time and will not be authorised. If you feel that you have an exceptional circumstance, you will need to request the holiday in writing stating the reason for the holiday, and mark it for the attention of the Head Teacher Mrs Thompson.

You will then be asked to attend a meeting with the Head Teacher to discuss the leave.

FACT –Research shows that by missing lessons, pupils soon fall behind their classmates.
