Holiday Form

Parents should not normally take their children on holiday in term time. There is no legal right to do so. However, you may apply to the school for leave of absence for up to 10 days. A term time holiday will only be authorised by the school if they believe there are special circumstances which warrant it. (The Education (Pupil Registration) (England) Regulations 2006)
