In school every day during term-time

Don’t miss out!

We attempt to maintain an excellent record of attendance at Burnside. We know that excellent attendance is directly linked to success and achievement at school.

Medical appointments

Routine medical and dental appointments are necessary but whenever possible please try and book an appointment out of school hours and/or during school holidays. We also require evidence of your appointment, ie, letter, text etc.

Term-time travel

Holidays during school dates are not permitted by the government, this includes travel overseas to visit relatives, or to take a holiday.  Please check term dates before making travel arrangements.

If you consider taking your child away from school during term-time, then you are making a choice which means they are not accessing education during this time, risking a fine or court action.
