Leave of Absence

Please ensure that you read the following documents very carefully and understand the regulations, especially before booking a term time holiday as these can only be authorised in “exceptional circumstances”. We will have to adhere to this guidance.

Please read this letter from Peter Dwyer, the Corporate Director of Children and Young Peoples’ Service, regarding changes to legislation for holidays during term time.
