Students are required to remain in school throughout term time, and it is essential that these dates are taken into consideration when holidays are booked. If there are exceptional circumstances that may require a student to miss school, permission must be sought from the Headteacher via email.

Parents and caregivers are asked to book non-urgent medical and dental appointments for their children outside of school hours or during the half-term and end-of-term holidays to prevent disruption to the school day.

Whilst every effort is made to ensure that dates remain unchanged, we reserve the right to make adjustments if circumstances require.
