Term Time Holidays and Extended Leave

DID YOU KNOW ? Children spend only 190 out of 365 days in school. Children who lose time from school do not do as well as they should. There is never a good time to take children away from their lessons, especially: When children have important tests and coursework to complete e.g. in years 2 and 6. When children move from Key Stage 1 to Key Stage 2. When children move from Primary school to Secondary school. IT IS NOT That That That That TRUE: they can automatically catch up. by missing lessons, pupils do not fall behind. lessons they miss are repeated at a later date. for younger children, lost schooling does not matter.

EVERY SCHOOL DAY COUNTS!

ALWAYS check school holiday dates and discuss any holiday plans or visits abroad which do not coincide with these times with the school. PARENTS who take their children out of school during school term-time without the Head Teacher's authorisation or beyond an agreed date: Risk losing their childs place at Birchfield Risk being taken to court and fined or being given a Fixed Penalty Notice. Risk their childs future through lost learning and lowerachievement Risk their child feeling left behind and left out
