Dear Parents and Carers,
The State Funeral for Her Majesty The Queen will take place next Monday, the 19th September. It has been agreed that this day will be a Public Bank Holiday and accordingly the school will be closed. We will re-open to all pupils on Tuesday 20th September.
Please complete and submit a Leave of Absence form located in the School Office section of our website under Downloadable Forms, should you wish to take your child on holiday during term time.

School Holidays During Term Time
SCHOOL HOLIDAY DATES SEPT 2021 – AUG 2021 – Updated
SCHOOL HOLIDAY DATES SEPT 2022 – AUG 2023
The Government has amended regulations for taking holidays in term time and these new regulations come into effect from September 2013.
Head teachers have the discretion to grant leave, but they should only do so in exceptional circumstances. If a head teacher grants a leave request, it will be for them to determine the length of time that the child can be away from school. This leave is unlikely, however, to be granted for the purposes of a family holiday.
Parents can be fined for taking their child on holiday during term time without consent from the school.
