APPLICATION FOR EXCEPTIONAL LEAVE OF ABSENCE

Absence during term time can only be authorised under exceptional circumstances. If parents wish to request an exceptional leave of absence, the form below should be completed and returned to the school office with documentation supporting the reason for the request.  The Headteacher’s decision will be communicated via email.

The following should be read before making any application:

The Education (Pupil Registration) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2013 to the Education (Pupil Registration) (England) Regulations 2006 states that Head Teacher may not authorise any leave of absence (i.e. holiday taken in term time). They are only allowed to consider a leave of absence if the circumstances are classed as exceptional, i.e. compassionate grounds and permission has been requested to the Head Teacher.

In accordance with the provisions of the Education Act 1996, parents and carers have a duty to ensure their children attend school regularly and if they fail to do this, they may be prosecuted.   

A Penalty Notice, which is issued individually to a parent or carer for each child, shall be for the sum of £60 if paid within 21 days, rising to £120 thereafter, until the final deadline of 28 days. Non-payment of a Penalty Notice within the 28-day deadline may result in the parent or carer being prosecuted.
