Term Dates

Public holidays are outlined below. These include:

Monday 19th September 2022

Further guidance has now been received from the Department for Education regarding details of the state funeral for Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. This will be held at 11am on Monday 19th September 2022. As a result, school will be closed.

Thursday 4th May 2023

Due to the request from the local council to use our school as a polling station, school will be closed

Please be reminded that, in accordance with local and national guidelines, holidays cannot be authorised during term time.  School take a very proactive approach to attendance and punctuality and will issue letters to remind you if your child’s attendance falls below nationally acceptable guidelines.  Removing your child for family holidays during term time could result in fines being issued by the local authority. 

In previous years prior to the pandemic, pupils in Years 2 and 6 have taken statutory assessment tests during May.  However, at the time of writing, it is uncertain as to whether such tests will remain the same next year.  Therefore we have to assume that they will be and that the same rules would apply.  We respectfully ask that it is essential that children are in school during these periods.  Pupils in Year 1 undertake Phonics screening during June and this is also essential that pupils do not miss school at all, where possible. 

If you have any further questions relating to holidays, leave of absence or sickness, please do not hesitate to contact the school office.
