Leave of absence during term-time
-
Leave of Absence during term time: Head teachers may not grant any leave of absence during term time unless there are “exceptional circumstances” that apply to that application. The head teacher should consider each application on a case-by-case basis and on its own merits. It is at the head teacher’s discretion if the exceptional circumstances warrant the authorisation of the leave and should also determine the number of days the pupil should be absent for. Head teachers should make clear to parents the date on which the pupil will be expected to return to school. All requests for leave of absence must be made in advance and by the parent/carer with whom the child normally resides.
- If you need to seek an absence during term time you will have to complete a Leave of Absence Form available from the school office or see the link below; you will need to outline the exceptional circumstances that require the leave of absence and supportive evidence may be needed.
- This should be done at least six weeks before the suggested leave of absence. Each application will be assessed on an individual basis by the headteacher and chair of governors and they must be satisfied that the circumstances warrant the granting of leave. All applications will be considered in the light of a child's attendance. Even in exceptional circumstances the request may not be considered if your child's attendance is below 95%.
