Term dates and holidays

Attached is the Shropshire maintained schools programme of school terms and holidays for 2006-2007, 2007 -2008, 2008-2009 and 2009-2010.

The law says that schools have the discretion to grant up to ten days authorised absence in a school year. Schools will only consider any additional absence during term time in exceptional circumstances.

Parents/carers who need to take their child out of school during term time should contact their child’s school immediately. Contact the school before booking travel for holidays in term time, as permission may not be granted.

Please be aware that there can be variations between schools and we would recommend parents/carers contact their child's school directly to confirm the school's term and holiday dates.
