School Holidays
Please check our school calendar for any additional termly starting or finishing dates.
Please note that voluntary aided (church) schools, foundation schools and academies may have set different dates and you should check with the school or academy to confirm their arrangements or view the PDF for schools not following the standard term and holiday dates.
School Holidays During Term Time
The Government has amended regulations for taking holidays in term time and these new regulations came into effect from September 2013.
Head teachers have the discretion to grant leave, but they should only do so in exceptional circumstances. If a Head Teacher grants a leave request, it will be for them to determine the length of time that the child can be away from school. This leave is unlikely, however, to be granted for the purposes of a family holiday.
Parents can be fined for taking their child on holiday during term time without consent from the school.
Please contact the school if you wish to discuss this with the Head Teacher.

Elvin and Jax did a great job leading their parties and Mrs Brentnall even popped along to check who was more convincing! Fantastic oracy skills on show by lots of children! 👍🏼 ... See MoreSee Less
