Holidays in term time have a significant impact on students progress, achievement and social development. The Department of Education have changed the regulations which Schools and Academies and have to follow for approving holidays during term time. These new regulations will come into force on 1st September 2013. Due to these new regulations Preston School has amended their Attendance Policy, which includes the policy on holiday in term time. This Policy will be available on the school website from 1st September 2013. Please can we ask all Parents to read and be aware of this policy as the school will no longer be authorising any holidays in term time unless the exceptional circumstances criteria apply. Parents who do take their son/daughter out from school during term time for a holiday will be served a penalty notice by Somerset Local Authority. We would ask all Parents to book family holidays during school holiday times to avoid the absence impacting students learning, progress and achievement.
