Attendance and Holidays in Term Time

Whitkirk Primary School (81)

It is essential that children come to school every day and on time so that they can achieve their potential.

If a child does not come into school and the parent/carer has not contacted us, we will ring home to find out why they are not present and offer support if needed. 
We are required to follow up all families with children who have low attendance.

Holidays in Term Time 

We endeavour to tell parents/carers well in advance about term dates and our additional 5 training dates to help with holiday planning. 

Under no circumstances are holidays in term time authorised.

In exceptional circumstances, term time leave may be authorised at the Headteacher's discretion.
