Term Time Holidays

Please be advised that term-time holidays are very unlikely to be approved. If families ignore this the absence will be unauthorised and you will be at risk of receiving a £160 Fixed Penalty Notice per parent on your return.

Last term, 36 parents have received Penalty Notices for taking students on unauthorised leave in term time.

Please note that, Birmingham City Council strongly discourages pupil leave of absence during term time. The expectation is that such leave would only be authorized in the most exceptional circumstance.

Please ensure that leave is taken in the school holidays only.

Parking outside of school

We kindly remind you that parking in front of the school, particularly in designated no-parking zones, is not permitted.

This area is critical for maintaining traffic flow and ensuring the safety of all students and pedestrians.

We understand that dropping off and picking up your child can be challenging, but we ask for your cooperation in following the parking guidelines.

Continued violations could result in fines or other consequences, which we would prefer to avoid for everyone’s convenience and safety.

Thank you for your understanding and support in keeping our school environment safe for all.
