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.
