There is new legislation regarding absence from school during term time. As from 1st September 2013 we will not be able to authorise any holidays at all. This is Surrey County Council policy. If you chose to take your child out of school for a holiday they will be marked in the register as an unauthorised absence. We will still authorise exceptional leave days for example weddings or funerals. Our attendance is monitored closely by the Educational welfare officer and unauthorised absence can trigger a fine.
