If you take a holiday during term time, and we do ask that this is avoided if at all possible, an application form for leave of absence has to be completed - this is available from the school office.
The Education (Pupil Registration) Regulations 1995 state:
On application made by a parent with whom the pupil normally resides, a pupil may be granted leave of absence from the school to enable him to go away on holiday... save in exceptional circumstances a pupil shall not be granted more than ten days leave of absence in any school year.
