The Government has amended regulations for taking holidays in term time and these new regulations come into effect from September 2013.

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.

Please contact the school if you wish to discuss this with the Executive Headteacher.
