Holidays in Term Time and Unauthorised Absence

Some parents arrange family holidays during term time, which can lead to problems for all concerned:

=  Your child’s education suffers

=  Lessons and extra curricular activities are missed

=  Continuity of project work is lost

=  The class is generally disrupted; other pupils suffer as a result

=  You may be in breach of your legal obligation to send your child to school

There is a common misconception that any pupil is allowed to take 10 days holiday per academic year in term time.  This is not true.   Please click here for full details.
