Calendar

School events and term dates. While we do try to plan our events in advance they are subject to changes, so please check back regularly especially when close to an event date.

Leave of Absence in Term Time

If your child records unauthorised Leave of Absence this will be marked with the code of G (leave without permission) and the Local Authority may issue a penalty fine. You should also be aware that if you're child's absence exceeds 20 days, their name may be removed from our register. With effect from 19th August 2024, the fine will be £160 per parent per child, reduced to £80 each if paid within 21 days and no previous fine has been issued in the last 3 years. If a previous fine (within 3 years) has been issued, there will be no option to pay the reduced amount.

Any leave of absence in term time must be applied for at least 10 days in advance. Parents/carers should complete a request form and hand this into our Attendance Team.
