Penalty Notice for school absenceWhere term time absence is refused, The John Colet School may contact
the County Attendance Team who may issue a penalty notice. This is in line with Section 444 of the
Education Act, Local Authority guidelines and agreed School Policy. Please note that information regarding term
time holidays is available within the school’s attendance policy and has been
agreed by governors.
The penalty notice may be issued at a fine of £60 per parent/carer, per
child if paid within 21 days. This would
rise to £120 per parent/carer, per child, if paid between 21 in 28 days and could
lead to further court proceedings if unpaid.
Parental Responsibility
Please note that, where appropriate, a copy of this application and
response will be sent to anyone with parental responsibility for this child who
does not live at the child’s current address.
