Holiday can only be taken in terms of sessions attended, and cannot split into half days. for example if your child attends a full day you will only be able to book the full day/session as holiday.
The holiday year runs from 1st September – 31st August each year.

If your child joins or leaves mid way through an academic year this will also affect their entitlement.
