Term Time Holidays

Taking holidays during term time is strongly discouraged – we ask that all parents submit a holiday notification at least four weeks in advance to notify us of this holiday and request authorisation. Requests are granted solely at the discretion of the Headteacher and will depend upon a range of factors such as time of year, the pupils’ attendance levels over time and impact on their progress in school. The school does not provide work to be completed during holidays taken in term time.  

Our target is for all pupils to have attendance of at least 95% each year. However, we fully appreciate that pupils have genuine illnesses and other circumstances can have a negative effect on pupils’ attendance.  Please contact the school and ask to speak to the office or the Headteacher if there are any circumstances which are causing problems with school attendance or punctuality.

School term dates are available here and the school notifies parents in advance of planned INSET days each year.

If your child needs medication, we will do our best to support this. However, medication must be ‘as prescribed’ and provided in its container with the prescription label. Parents will need to complete a medicine authorisation form, available to download (link below) or from the school office, without which staff cannot administer medicines.

Children do, and will from time to time, have accidents in school. Usually these are trips or falls incurring only minor bumps or grazes, but occasionally injuries can be more significant.  Usually, very minor incidents will be treated by our first-aiders in school and parents notified as a courtesy. We always notify parents of any head injury and any other injury which, in our judgement, warrants further attention or where the parent may feel it best to take the child home.

For further information about how we manage medical conditions and pupils needing medication, please see our medications policy.
