Application for exceptional leave of absence during term time

This form should be completed by the parent/carer and returned to the school as far in advance as possible and preferably at least 6 weeks before the first date of the period of leave being requested.

  • I request permission for my child to be absent from school

  • DD slash MM slash YYYY
  • DD slash MM slash YYYY
  • Parents/carers must obtain the school’s permission before making any arrangements for leave in exceptional circumstances, otherwise the absence will be recorded as unauthorised.

    No parent/carer can demand leave of absence as of right. The Education regulations state that applications for leave must be made in advance by a parent with whom the child lives and can only be authorised by the school in exceptional circumstances. Each application is considered individually by the school and the Headteachers decision is final.
