  • APPLICATION FOR LEAVE OF ABSENCE FOR A STUDENT

  • Important information for parents/carers applying for holiday leave:

    • There is no automatic right to absence for a family holiday. Authorisation will depend on current attendance record being greater than 95% and other criteria set out in the school’s ‘Attendance Policy’.
    • Request for leave should be submitted to the school no less than 6 weeks prior to the start of the holiday.
    • Author isation during GCSEs (including mock exams) and in the first term of any new school placement is not likely to be granted.
    • Any requests for extended leave, i.e. more than 5 school days in any academic year, will only be authorised in exceptional circumstan ces .
  • If none of the above apply it is unlikely that the absence will be authorised. Please see the attendance policy on the school website for further detail.
