If your child goes on holiday in term time or takes leave of absence without prior permission from the school, the absences will be marked in the school register as an unauthorised absence and may result in a fixed penalty notice being issued.
The Local Authority strongly encourages parents to take holidays or leave of absence for other reasons during the school holidays, rather than during term time.
Schools are closed for 13 weeks a year it should not normally be necessary for children to miss school for these reasons.
Any leave of absence requests should be made to the school and leave of absence granted in only the most exceptional circumstances.
