Question S61N Reject after CDP

I would like to seek the opinion of other S61N drivers on doing a rejected take off immediately after achieving CDP on an Oblique take off ( CDP 50ft 20 kts) and Ground Cushion (CDP35 kts 20ft) if there is still a lot of runway remaining.. say 5000ft. In our ops manual, our brief for the take off is.."if engine fails after CDP continue the take off and rejoin for landing". It looks ridiculous that with over a mile of runway available and at such low altitude we should risk doing a single engine circuit.The flight manual has a phrase that says.."at CDP after forward input of cyclic no rejects should be attempted.So at the moment, our training cell has verbally told us not to do a Group A take off even though we are within the WAT limit but instead to do a Modified Group A take off (CDP 300ft 45 kts). Any inputs esp by North Sea S61 operators are appreciated.
