Holidays during term time
|
Please remember to telephone the office before 8.45am if your child is absent from school so we can record the reason, otherwise the absence will be classed as unauthorised. If you telephone school it enables us to make sure that children who walk to school alone are absent with their parents’ permission. If we do not receive a message we will contact parents either by telephone or text.
Holiday or days off in school time are not permitted except in exceptional circumstances. The Head of School will review each application and will give you an answer as soon as possible. Holidays in term time may lead to a £60 per child, per parent Penalty Notice which will be issued once your child/children return to school from their holiday.
Please note that if you require an exceptional circumstance absence during school time please contact school to arrange an interview with the Head of School BEFORE you make any arrangements. Any unauthorised absences are passed to Trafford Council who may fine both parents.
At Barton Clough Primary we are working very hard to improve attendance and punctuality. It is vital that children attend school every day so that they have the best chance of reaching their full potential – every day counts!
Coming to school every day helps children to learn new exciting things, build lasting friendships and promotes self-esteem and confidence.
A child with 90% attendance may seem good, but it actually means that you child would miss:
We understand that children will miss school due to illness or other unforeseen circumstances, but we urge parents to send children in when they are well enough to attend. For information about attendance procedures please see our school attendance policy.
