Holidays

South Lanarkshire Council do not encourage parents and carers to take their children out of school on holiday during term time.

Absences due to holidays are recorded as unauthorised unless there are exceptional circumstances.

If you are planning to go on holiday during term time you should inform the Head Teacher in writing prior to departure.
