School leaving date for 16 year olds

By law, there is only one single school leaving date. This is:

• the last Friday in June in the school year in which a pupil reaches age 16

Until that date:

• parents/carers must ensure their child’s participation in education, at school or otherwise.
• employers may not employ a child full-time

If you have any queries about your child’s school leaving date, please contact the headteacher.
