Authorised absences during term time
If an authorised absence request is granted, it will be the headteacher's responsibility to determine the length of time a child is absent.
Authorised absence is unlikely to be granted for family holidays.
Parents/carers can be fined for taking a child on holiday during term time without consent.
Further information regarding term-time absence can be found here.
