In September we got a list of the school holidays and teacher training days for the 2013/14 academic year. The teacher training days were set as the Monday after October half term, the Monday after Christmas (which has been standard all the time the DC have been there and the Friday before spring bank holiday. This latter date seemed odd, as it is usually the day after the Easter holiday.
The school is a polling station, so wi be closed on 22 May for polling in the European elections. Thus it seemed that they had sensibly moved the final training day of the year so that the kids didn't have to go back to school for a day between the election and half term.
However, I got a letter last week informing me that the teacher training day has been moved and is now on the Tuesday after Easter. The problem with this us that I have booked a holiday over the period of the original teacher training day.
I spoke to the head and she said it would have to go down as an unauthorised absence. I'm really annoyed - I feel I'm being penalised despite the fact I arranged our holiday around the dates the school provided.
