School Policies

• Home School Agreement
• Homework Policy Revised April 2012
• Homework and Reading Policy Guidance
• Behaviour Policy 

Parents are asked to support their child’s school with its aims and not take children away during school term time. It should be noted that leave during term time is granted only in extenuating circumstances’

 From April 2005, Kent Local Authority (LA) introduced Penalty Notices for unauthorised absence from school.

This is now included in our attendance policy.  

 The following circumstances will be considered as appropriate reasons for the issuing of Penalty Notices:

 *Truancy, including truancy sweeps

*Parentally-condoned absences

*Holidays in term time

*Excessive delayed return from extended holidays

*Persistent lateness after the register has closed

 On receipt of the Notice, the penalty will be £50 per parent, per child if paid within 28 days, rising to £100 if paid after 28 days but within 42 days.  Failure to pay the penalty in full by the end of the 42 pay period may result in prosecution by the Local Authority.
