Leave of Absence Requests

Each application is looked at on its own merits.  Only “extremely exceptional circumstances’ will be approved in relation to requests from parents for family holidays taken in term time.  

If you have an exceptional circumstance and require a Leave of Absence form then pick one up at the school office and submit it BEFORE making arrangements. 

Wedding absences - we do not approve wedding holidays.  At best, and in extremely exceptional circumstances, the travel to the venue, the wedding day and the return (3 days) could be approved. All other days will be unauthorised and may incur a fixed penalty notice.

Football weekends - we do not approve football weekends.  They are not classed as education off site (as suggested by some managers of football clubs).
