Term Dates

Increasingly, parents are asking to take their children out of school for holidays and other non- emergencies. Holidays should not be taken during the school term. Holidays during school time will only be authorised in exceptional circumstances. Holidays taken during term time could adversely affect your child’s education and attendance record. Walsall Children’s Services now has the authority to fine parents a set amount for taking unauthorised holidays during school time.
