Holiday forms

If you are going on holiday during term time, please ask for a holiday form from the office. The form will ask for some extra details about why you are wanting to use term time rather than school holidays. Please be aware that although up to ten days of holiday can be authorised, it is only allowed in one family holiday—not lots of dates throughout the year. Once I have then checked your child’s absence rates, I will reply to your request. If your child has had a lot of illness or other absences, then I may not be able to authorise the holiday. Education Welfare Officers look at absence rates of 85% and below...one holiday can put you into this category.
