Term Dates
Good attendance at school is acknowledged as a major factor in students’ development. Poor attendance leads to disrupted learning and causes underachievement. Legislation was introduced by Parliament in 2014 which states that requests for holidays to be taken in term-time will not be granted, except in exceptional circumstances, and that if students are absent for such a reason, parents will be fined.
We also ask that, where possible, students do not miss school for routine medical and dental appointments.
