At Scholes, we really value attendance. Parents/carers should NOT book holidays in term time. Term time holidays impact greatly on children academically and socially. It is especially important not to book them for Y1 pupils in June (phonics screening check) and in May for Year 6 pupils (SATs). 

Any absence requests should be submitted to school BEFORE making a booking. In most cases, the absence will be classed as unauthorised. Should your child take 10 sessions (5 days) of unauthorised absence in a 10-week rolling period, a penalty notice will be issued - £80 per parent per child. 

More information can be found here: School attendance and absence: Legal action to enforce school attendance - GOV.UK

There are a few exceptional circumstances where absence can be authorised. Please discuss this with the Headteacher before making any bookings.
