# Holidays in term time

From 1st September 2014, Sunderland Local Authority will be using Fixed Penalty Notices (FPNs) for unauthorised absences from school where such absence meets the criteria. The criteria for issuing FPNs are contained in the Sunderland Local Code of Conduct, a copy of which can be found on the school [**website**](https://usworthcolliery.co.uk/parents/key-information-for-parents/fixed-penalty-notices). A frequently asked questions response sheet has been prepared to assist parents in understanding how the scheme works, and this is also available on the school [**website**](https://usworthcolliery.co.uk/parents/key-information-for-parents/fixed-penalty-notices).

### **If you wish to request an authorised absence please do so by completed a form that can be obtained from the school office. Please note we are no longer accepting requests via email.**
