REQUEST FOR ABSENCE TO TAKE TIME OUT DURING TERM TIME
Please read these notes before submitting a form and further details can be found in our attendance policy which is also on our website.
Regular attendance at school is essential to promote the education of pupils. There is a strong link between attendence and achievement. Regular attendance helps a child to learn, progress, establish good habits & prepare for the future.
The school cannot grant leave of absence during term for holidays unless there are exceptional circumstances.
Other absence from school will be considered on an individual basis and a decision will be made by the Head whether to authorise the absence or not.
Where, in exceptional circumstances, leave is granted, no more than five days (10 sessions) per school year shall be authorised.
Any unauthorised absence in term time of more than 10 sessions (5 days) may result in a penalty notice being issued.
Completed forms should be returned to the school office AT LEAST 10 days before the proposed absence. You will receive a confirmation e-mail within 7 days. Requests are usually authorised on a Thursday.
