    Taking Holidays during term time

    We understand that it can be difficult to take holidays during the school holidays. However, permission is required from the headteacher to take children out for a holiday in term time. This can only be granted if there are exceptional circumstances.


    If you think you have exceptional circumstances and wish to request a holiday during term time for your child, please request a holiday form from the main office.
