Term Dates and Attendance

We are unable to grant any leave of absence for family holidays, unless there are exceptional circumstances which support the request being made.

Where a family chooses to take a holiday during term time, the absences will be coded as unauthorised, and as such Headteachers may request that the Local Authority issues a Penalty Notice. For more information please visit the following page Attendance information for schools.

The School Day

Classroom doors are opened at 8:40am and the school day starts at 8:45am, doors will be closed promptly at 8:45am. After this time all children must be brought through the main entrance and signed in at the office.

The school day ends at 3:15pm.

School cannot take legal responsibility for children who arrive before 8:40 am. Please do not allow children to play on the equipment, or grass before and after school for their own safety.

In the interests of safety for the Croft children please ensure you are stood near to your child’s external classroom door at the end of the day at pick-up time.
