The term dates below show when Springhead Primary School is open to pupils throughout the academic year, including the start and end of terms and school holiday periods. All pupils are expected to attend school every day the school is open, unless their absence is unavoidable.
Parents and carers should plan holidays and non‑essential appointments during school holiday periods wherever possible. Absence during term time will only be authorised in exceptional circumstances and must be requested in advance. Family holidays taken during term time are not normally authorised and may result in unauthorised absence.
Please refer to our Attendance Policy for full details about attendance expectations, leave of absence requests, and the impact of absence on learning. This can be accessed via the policies page of our school website by clicking the tab below:
