Headteachers have the discretion to grant leave. This is unlikely and should only do so in exceptional circumstances. If a headteacher grants a leave request it will be for them to determine the length of time that the child can be away from school. You can fill in a "Leave of absence form" at the school office. **Parents and carers are reminded that term time holidays taken without permission may result in the issuing of a Fixed Penalty Notice by the Local Authority of up to £160 per child from September 2024.** Attendance Fixed Term Penalty Notice Information 82 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-2/files/documents/Attendance_Fixed_Term_Penalty_Notice_Information.pdf) Please contact school if you wish to discuss this with the Headteacher. ### Parents - [Childcare Provision](https://www.stjs.org.uk/parents/childcare-provision) - [Mental Health & Wellbeing](https://www.stjs.org.uk/parents/mental-health-wellbeing) - [Online Safety](https://www.stjs.org.uk/parents/online-safety) - [Parents](https://www.stjs.org.uk/parents) - [School Letters](https://www.stjs.org.uk/parents/school-letters) - [School Meals](https://www.stjs.org.uk/parents/school-meals) - [School Uniform](https://www.stjs.org.uk/parents/school-uniform) - [Starting School Guide](https://www.stjs.org.uk/starting-school-guide) - [Term Dates](https://www.stjs.org.uk/parents/term-dates) ![St. Joseph’s Catholic Primary, Sunderland](https://files.schudio.com/st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-2/images/logo/logo-footer-with-diocese-02.png) ### St. Joseph’s Catholic Primary, Sunderland Rutland Street Sunderland SR4 6HY 0191 510 8484 ### Useful Links - [Website Terms ](https://bccet.org.uk/website-terms) - [Accessibility Statement](https://bccet.org.uk/accessibility-statement) - [Privacy Statement](https://bccet.org.uk/privacy-policy) - [FOI](https://bccet.org.uk/freedom-of-information) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stjosephsmillfield) © Copyright 2026 St. Joseph’s Catholic Primary, Sunderland School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.stjs.org.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
