Term Time Absences

Application For Term Time Absence

Since September 2013, Headteachers are no longer able to agree up to 10 school days in a school year for a family holiday, or to agree to extended leave for a family to visit their country of origin.

This form should be completed and returned to the Headteacher for consideration. If the request is not considered an exceptional circumstance it will be classified as unauthorised absence.

As a parent or carer, you should fill in this form if you wish to take your child out of school during term time for exceptional circumstances.
