Term Time Holidays

Parents who take their children out of school during school term-time without the Headteacher's authorisation or beyond an agreed date....

STOP AND THINK WHAT IT WILL COST YOUR CHILD, REMEMBER EVERY SCHOOL DAY COUNTS

DID YOU KNOW ....?

Children spend only 190 days out of 365 days in School.

 Children who lose time from school do not do as well as they could 

There is never a good time to take children away from their lessons

IT IS NOT TRUE...

 That they can "catch up".

 Research shows that by missing lessons, pupils soon fall behind. 

Lessons they miss are NOT repeated at a later date

 

That you can automatically have 10 days extra holiday each year. Schools are quite within their rights to say that "HOLIDAYS IN SCHOOL TERM TIME ARE NOT ALLOWED"

 

IT IS NOT TRUE... 

That for younger children, lost schooling does not matter, IT IS JUST THE OPPOSITE

EVERY SCHOOL DAY COUNTS

ALWAYS 

Check school holiday dates and do not take your child abroad in term time.

 

PLEASE, PUT YOUR CHILDS EDUCATION FIRST
