Our Policies

Notes:

Term-time holidays

Cheltenham Bournside School does not authorise holidays during term time. Unauthorised absences may be notified to the LA and a penalty notice may be issued without further warning. We require seven days' notice of the proposed absence made in writing, by completing a Request for Leave of Absence form, which is available from the Attendance Office. 

Photography

Photographs of students may be used in our publicity material including our prospectuses, website, and social media platforms. Photographs will only be published with a child’s first name for safeguarding. If you would like to opt-out, please contact us.
