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."
