Term dates

It is very important that children attend school every day during term time. Holidays should only be taken during the allocated holiday dates and we are unable to authorise any term-time holidays.

 

Attendance is fundamental to a student’s academic success and overall well-being. Every day a student is present at school, they are presented with opportunities to engage in learning, build relationships, and grow into ambitious, positive and self-assured young people. At Anthem Schools Trust, ensuring excellent attendance is not just about achieving statutory requirements, it is about securing a successful future for Every Student.

 

Any requests for time off are submitted through the admin team by filling out a leave of absence request form. 

Term time and holiday dates are available below.
