In 2022, Her Majesty the Queen will be the first British Monarch to have reached the milestone of 70 years on the throne. To mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, celebrations are to be held across the UK throughout the year, however they will focus on Thursday 2 to Sunday 5 June 2022.
Changes have been made to the school term dates (PDF, 160kb) to accommodate these celebrations.

Family holidays
If your child is absent because of a holiday booked outside the school holidays dates it'll be marked as an unauthorised absence, even if you've told the school.
Absences of more than 4 weeks, where your child is overseas visiting family, or is absent because their parents are travelling people, will be marked as an authorised absence.
