Pupils must attend school regularly if they are to gain maximum benefit from their education. Parents are reminded that it is their responsibility to ensure their children go to school. Children should not be absent from school except for medical reasons. All absences must be covered by a note from parents.

Permission for holidays to be taken during term time is not normally granted except in exceptional circumstances. Requests, prior to booking, must be made in writing to the Headteacher using a holiday request form available from Form Tutors, Reception or the Main Office. We work closely with the Education Welfare Service to follow up unexplained absence.

The school also insists on punctuality and pupils are subject to school discipline if late without good reason.
