We are going on a family holiday during term time. What should I do?

The Principal does not usually authorise holidays during term time and unauthorised holiday will go down on your child’s attendance record as an unauthorised mark and you may be issued with a fixed penalty notice. Therefore, please call the academy first to discuss this.
