APPLICATION FOR AUTHORISED ABSENCE FROM SCHOOL

Please complete the form below and return it to school as soon as possible.

Please note that we have the discretion to authorise up to a maximum of 10 days absence per school year for exceptional circumstances only.
Taking a holiday during term time means that children miss important school time – both educationally and for other school activities. It will be difficult for them to catch up on work later on. Each application is considered individually by the school, taking into account factors like the timing of the holiday and the child’s attendance record. You will receive a response from school indicating if the absence is to be authorised or unauthorised. It is school policy that the teaching staff do not provide additional work for children whose families take unauthorised holidays in term time.
