We do NOT support holidays being taken in term time. It is disruptive for the school meaning we have to rearrange class groups, it results in significant additional administration work and most importantly has a significant impact on the child’s progress. It is a myth that ‘my child will catch up’ and/or ‘it doesn’t matter in primary schools. Our children experience individualised programmes of work each and every day and we can’t reteach work missed.
The Headteacher may only grant leave of absence for exceptional circumstances.
Being in school every day is key to children making expected progress in school.
