Absences

Term-time absence
Legally, you must have the Headteacher’s permission before removing your child from school during term time for example, for holidays.

The Department for Education makes it clear that leave is only granted in exceptional circumstances, and routine family holidays don’t qualify.

Attendance policy
We have a new government-backed strategy to boost attendance, and your cooperation is key. Our full attendance policy, including details on absence, permission requests, and penalties, is available from our policies page.

If your child needs to miss school for any reason, illness, appointments, exceptional family matters please fill out the form below and present at the school office.
