Leave of Absence During Term Time
There was a change in the law concerning term time leave of absence from 1st September 2013. Head Teachers are not able to grant any leave of absence during term time unless there are exceptional circumstances. Where leave is granted, Head Teachers must decide the number of days a child can be away from school.
If you wish to make an application for your child’s term time leave of absence, you must fill out an application form, which can be downloaded via the link below or requested from the school office. The application form asks you to outline the reasons why you feel your application for leave of absence during term time should be regarded as ‘exceptional’. Any supporting documents should also be submitted with the application. Following the submission of your application, you will be notified as soon as possible of the School’s decision. Each application will be considered on an individual basis at the time of submission.
Parents and carers should be aware that if you take leave of absence during term time without making a prior application to the school, or if you make an application but your requested leave of absence is not authorised and still take the child out of school, the absence will be recorded as unauthorised. Similarly, if you keep your child away from school for longer than agreed / authorised, the excess absence will be recorded as unauthorised.
Unauthorised absences on your child’s attendance record may mean that you are liable to incur a Fixed Penalty Notice or could face prosecution. A Fixed Penalty Notice will be issued to each person with parental responsibility for the child / children who is deemed liable for the offence / offences. The ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ page that can be downloaded via the link below explains the circumstances where enforcement action may be taken more fully.
