In 2013, the Government removed the right of the Headteacher to allow discretionary 10 day absences which covered family holidays. Schools are now required to refuse requests for holiday absence in term time and, in accordance with Cumbria County Council's School Absence Enforcement Policy, parents may be issued with a penalty notice if a leave of absence is taken without permission or is unauthorised.
If it is absolutely necessary to take your child out of school during term time, you must complete a Notification of Leave of Absence form to advise school of the absence.
Further details can be found on the Attendance page on this website.
