Leave during term-time

The law requires that a school’s headteacher should not grant approval for any leave of absence during term-time, including holidays, unless there are exceptional circumstances.

Parents are not entitled to take their children on holiday in term-time. Such holidays can only be taken with the written approval of the headteacher. Each case will be considered on its own merits and the decision of the headteacher is final. If your child is of statutory school age (5) you may be subject to an Education penalty notice issued by Derby City Council.
