Our Procedure on Mobile Phones
Request for time off during term time
Leave of absence in exceptional circumstances is authorised at the discretion of the Headteacher. This is not an automatic right of parents/carers.
You should not take your child on a leave of absence during the school term.
Each request for leave of absence will be considered individually, considering the circumstances for the request, the supporting evidence provided and the overall attendance of your child, their stage of education and progress and, where appropriate, internal and external examinations and assessments.
If the school does not agree the absence and you take leave of absence without permission or your child is absent for more than the agreed number of days the absence will be unauthorised.
Leave of absence taken without the authorisation of the school may also lead to your child being referred to the Education Welfare Service and the possibility of a statutory action and a fine.
Online Safety
Tool that allows young people to report an image or video shared online, to see if it’s possible to get it taken down. Provided by Childline and IWF, it keeps the young person informed at each stage of their report, and provides further support where necessary.
The National Crime Agency's CEOP Education team aim to help protect children and young people from online child sexual abuse.
