Request for Extended Leave of Absence

Holidays should not be taken during the school term and will not be authorised unless in exceptional circumstances. To request leave of absence in term time parents/carers should fill in the form below. 

Please note that the Government’s attendance expectation threshold for all pupils is 96% or above over the school year. Both national data and our school data support that high attendance to school is linked to increased academic attainment and progress. It is vital, for continuity of learning, that attendance remains high.  

The local authority will issue fixed penalty notices to parents in line with new Department for Education attendance guidelines. This will be considered when a student has missed 10 or more sessions (5 days) for unauthorised reasons. This includes unauthorised holidays.  

Please complete the form below, setting out leave of absence dates and the reason why the absence is being requested during term time.

A member of staff will contact you regarding your request.

Please note that teachers will not set work for students to complete during extended leave of absence from school.
