Holiday Policy
A holiday is generally defined as an absence from school for the purpose of
recreation, leisure and tourism. The Headteacher can authorise up to 10 days for a family holiday if this has been requested and agreed to before the holiday begins. This is not an entitlement and holidays taken in term time will adversely affect the child’s attendance record. At our school, the governors have resolved that the Headteacher will not authorise a holiday
unless there are exceptional circumstances.

Anti-Bullying Award
Members of Aldridge School Council attended Walsall’s 4th Anti-Bullying Conference at Bescot Stadium on Friday 13th November 2009 as representatives of the entire student body. During the conference pupils engaged in a wide variety of activities and workshops designed to raise their anti-bullying awareness. The School was presented with a prestigious Anti-Bullying Award recognising the steps it has taken to tackle this most important issue. In addition the School was also singled out for special praise in relation to its Peer Mentoring work. The Aldridge Ambassador Scheme, our Peer Buddies and Academic Peer mentors were highlighted as examples of best practice. Congratulations to all those pupils, staff and parents who worked towards these awards.
