A WOMBWELL school is working with a local travel agent to improve term-time attendance.
Netherwood ALC is working alongside Thomas Cook Co-operative Travel on the High Street to give parents an incentive to book holidays out of term time.
Parents and carers who book new trips during the school holidays will receive a five per cent discount if they produce a letter from the school.
Gary Smith, assistant principal at Netherwood, said: "It was joint idea with the travel company in which we looked at how we could work together to positively support parents in their child's school attendance."
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
