Staff training days
Four days are allocated for staff training, when the schools are closed to pupils. The dates of these extra days are not fixed by the Children's Services Authority and can vary from school to school.

Term-time holidays
You should not take your child out of school for a holiday during term time. Headteachers will not authorise the absence unless it is under exceptional circumstances.
