Holiday Request Form

Term-time holidays are not permitted during the school year. Absences due to term-time holidays are disruptive to learning and lead to missed opportunities in the classroom.

However, we recognise that there may be exceptional circumstances that require a term-time holiday. In such rare cases, please submit a holiday request form to the Headteacher well in advance. The Headteacher will carefully consider each request and, if deemed appropriate and in the best interests of the child, may grant permission for the term-time holiday. 

We emphasise that such instances will only be considered on a discretionary basis, and the decision will be made with the learner’s educational welfare as the utmost priority. Students are always expected to complete the work they have missed to make sure they do not fall behind. We appreciate your co-operation and understanding regarding our approach to term-time holidays.
