Surrey County Council have asked us to post this reminder:

Just to remind parents/carers that if they take their children out of school without authority for 5 or more days (which do not have to be consecutive), they will be liable to receive a penalty notice. Currently the amount payable under a penalty notice is £60.00 per parent/carer per child if paid within 21 days. Thereafter the amount increases to £120.00 if paid between 21 and 28 days. If the    

penalty notice remains unpaid after 28 days, the Local Authority will consider a prosecution in the Magistrates Court. Please note that penalty notices are issued per parent/carer per child so a family of two parents and two children will receive 4 penalty notices.

Surrey County Council is not responsible for authorising pupil absence and therefore   cannot withdraw any Penalty Notice requests without the written permission of the Headteacher.

 

Please help FOY by pre-ordering tickets for the disco ASAP. This helps the FOY team in judging the amount that needs to be ordered.
