Parents/Carers must ask permission for their child to be absent during term time, and it is at the Headteacher’s discretion to decide whether or not the absence will be authorised. The Headteacher may authorise leave during term time for exceptional circumstances only. If leave is taken without permission, or no application is made, parents/carers risk being issued with an Education Penalty Notice.
Parents/Carers wishing to apply for their child to have leave of absence from school should complete this form and return it to school for authorisation at least two weeks before the proposed leave.
