Parents have a legal duty to ensure that their children attend school regularly and arrive on time. It is the parents' responsibility to contact the school on the first day their child is absent and only the Headteacher can authorise absence for approved reasons. These include:
Unauthorised Absence
Absences will be unauthorised for things such as:
Holidays
Holidays during term time will not be authorised and will be recorded as an unauthorised absence on your child's record.
