Term Dates

APPLICATION FOR PUPIL LEAVE OF ABSENCE FROM SCHOOL FOR TERM TIME HOLIDAY

 

At Priestmead we believe that full time education enables our children to learn and progress more effectively.  Please note we would expect very high attendance before we authorise leave during term time except in exceptional circumstances such as family illness or bereavements. We must have a fixed return date.  If your child’s overall attendance during their time with us has not been high we will consult the Education Social Worker.  If leave of absence is UNAUTHORISED we will inform the Education Social Worker.

 

Harrow will now fine families up to £160 per child, per parent; please do not ask for time off during term time where possible.

 

Please note the new Government Policy changes regarding school attendance.
