Under Government Regulations parents must apply to the Headteacher of their son/daughter’s school for permission to take children out of school during term time. The Headteacher may grant the request, in which case the absence would be authorised. Alternatively, circumstances may lead the Headteacher to refuse the request.

Government advice for school attendance and absence

Would you please complete the form setting out proposed leave of absence dates and the reasons why the leave is being proposed during term time.

Extended Leave of Absence Form

Thank you for your request for permission to take your son/daughter on leave of absence during term time.  The Headteacher will contact you if there is a problem allowing your child this leave of absence.

Comment from Mr Hardwick: Please note that due to government changes to regulations, I cannot authorise any holidays.  I can only authorise leave of absence under exceptional circumstances.  Please note, unauthorised leave could result in your child being excluded from any school trips.
