As part of our Attendance Policy, which has been written in line with Government guidance, we respectfully ask that parents refrain from taking children out of school during term time for the benefit of a holiday. Holidays taken during the term disrupt children’s learning and parents are at risk of being fined for doing so. If you are planning on taking a child out of school during term time, please complete this form and return to the school at least 4 weeks prior to the planned holiday.
