Request For Leave Of Absence - Holiday Form

    Please read notes below



Submit


                            NOTES FOR COMPLETION OF THE REQUEST FOR LEAVE OF ABSENCE FORM

1. In the Education (Student Registration) Regulations 2006, Regulation 7 (paragraphs 3 & 4) states:
  “A student may be granted leave of absence from the school to enable him/her to go away on holiday where
  an application has been made in advance by a parent with whom the student normally resides AND the
  Head
Teacher considers that leave of absence should be granted due to the special circumstances relating to
 
that application.
Save in exceptional circumstances, a student shall not be granted more than ten school
 
days leave of absence in any school year.” 

2. Further advice from the Department for Education states that:
•  Parents should avoid term-time holidays whenever possible. Schools should encourage parents to avoid              term-time holidays whenever possible.
•  Only designated personnel at a school may authorise absence from the school.                                               
   They can only approve absence for family holidays if they consider that there are special reasons which               warrant the holiday. Parents may not authorise absence.
•  Schools are not obliged to agree to family holidays in term-time.
    All applications will be considered on their merits in the light of the need to maintain continuity of learning.
•  Holiday prices and the fact that parents have booked a holiday before checking with the school are
   not special reasons
•  Unless there are exceptional circumstances, the maximum allowance is ten school days in a school year       
       regardless of the number of holidays taken.
•  No parent can demand leave of absence for the purpose of a family holiday by right.
•  Ten days’ absence for a family holiday can result in students with poor attendance becoming persistent             absentees.

3. Please ensure that you provide full and accurate information to the school to enable them to assess your
    application. Incomplete forms and information not consistent with that already held by the school will
    certainly delay the decision and may result in the rejection of your request.

4. If a completed form is returned more than one calendar month prior to the holiday dates, any notification by
    the school to authorise the holiday period will be PROVISIONAL, pending a printout of a student’s individual
    attendance certificate one month before the holiday start date. This is to ensure that the student’s
    attendance will be maintained above 95% IF A HOLIDAY IS TAKEN DURING TERM TIME. 

5. Your request will be considered as outlined above and, if it is not agreed by the school, the leave of absence
    for your child(ren) will not be granted. If leave is taken without agreement, it will be regarded as
    unauthorised  absence.    


6. If the leave of absence is unauthorised and you still take your child out of school a referral can be made to
   the Education Welfare Service who under the Anti-Social Behaviour Act 2003 can issue a Fixed Penalty Notice.
   Penalty Notices are £50 per parent per child if paid within 28 days and will automatically increase to £100 up
   to 42 days. Failure to pay will result in prosecution in the Magistrates’ Court.
