It is the responsibility of the parents to ensure that their children receive full time education and, as far as possible, avoid any disruption to their education. The school is very concerned that children's educational progress can be put at risk if they are taken out of school during term time. Wherever possible, absence during school term time should therefore be avoided. It should be noted that the school is under no obligation to set work for pupils absent for family holidays or provide extra work to make up for non attendance.

For registration purposes, your son/daughter/children's absence will be recorded as an authorized absence in the school's attendance records, if notification of the holiday has been provided before departure.

However, any essential absences for children of compulsory school age should be covered in a written request for permission to the Head teacher.
