Term Time Holidays

Can I take my child on holiday in Term Time?

The current law does not give any entitlement to parents to take their child on holiday during term time. Any application for leave must be in exceptional circumstances and the Headteacher must be satisfied that the circumstances warrant the granting of leave.

Family holidays are not exceptional leave.

Please could we remind you that 10 sessions of unauthorised absence will be submitted to the County Council and could lead to a fine.
