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. This leave is unlikely, however, to be granted for the purposes of a family holiday. Parents can be fined for taking their child on holiday during term time without consent from the school. Please [contact the school](https://st-godric-s-catholic-primary-school-thornley.schudio.com/contact-us) if you wish to discuss this with the Headteacher. ### Parents - [Childcare Provision](https://www.stgodricsthornley.org/parents/childcare-provision) - [Online Safety](https://www.stgodricsthornley.org/parents/online-safety) - [School Meals](https://www.stgodricsthornley.org/parents/school-meals) - [School Newsletters](https://www.stgodricsthornley.org/parents/school-newsletters) - [School Uniform](https://www.stgodricsthornley.org/parents/school-uniform) - [Starting School Guide](https://www.stgodricsthornley.org/starting-primary-guide) - [Term Dates](https://www.stgodricsthornley.org/parents/term-dates) ![St. Godric's Catholic Primary School, Thornley](https://files.schudio.com/st-godric-s-catholic-primary-school-thornley/images/logo/logo-footer-with-diocese-02.png) ### St. Godric's Catholic Primary School, Thornley Thornley Road Wheatley Hill County Durham DH6 3NR 01429 820 333 ### Useful Links: - [Website Terms](https://bccet.org.uk/website-terms) - [Accessibility Statement](https://bccet.org.uk/accessibility-statement) - [Privacy Notice](https://bccet.org.uk/privacy-policy) - [FOI](https://bccet.org.uk/freedom-of-information) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stgodricthornley) © Copyright 2025–2026 St. Godric's Catholic Primary School, Thornley School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.stgodricsthornley.org/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
