Holidays in term time

You have to get permission from the Principal if you want to take your child out of school during term time.

You must complete an application to the Principal 4 weeks in advance (as a parent the child normally lives with). Please note the majority of applications will be unauthorised. Absence will only be authorised if there are exceptional circumstances.

Please note it is up to the Principal how many days your child can be away from school if leave is granted. Full details can be obtained from the Office.

As part of our new Romero Attendance Policy our Attendance Officer, Claire McElroy, will be making home visits to all children if they are off for more than 3 consecutive days. If you are not in, then we will leave a “calling card” and it is expected that you call her back.

School trips
We can ask you for a voluntary contribution towards the cost of activities like school trips. We can’t stop your child from attending if you don’t pay, but we could cancel the activity if there isn’t enough money to cover the cost of it.
