## **Holidays in Term Time**

#### As you will be aware, the Government is putting increasing pressure on schools to improve attendance and eliminate the amount of holidays taken during term time. We understand circumstances and the cost of holidays can affect your decisions. However, it is vital your child attends school every day, if possible, in order to achieve their potential.

#### The Governors at St Stephen's decided not to authorise absences for holidays taken during term time. Therefore if you choose to request a holiday for your child in term time, you will need to complete the Absence Request Form below and be aware that this will result in an unauthorised absence against your child's attendance record.

#### If your child is absent from school for 10 sessions (5 days) or more and the absence is unauthorised, you will receive a Penalty Notice from the Local Authority. A Penalty Notice is currently £80, rising to £160 if unpaid within 21 days, per parent, per child. Failure to pay will normally lead to prosecution.

For further information regarding unauthorised attendance, please visit the following link: **<https://www.gov.uk/school-attendance-absence/legal-action-to-enforce-school-attendance>**
