As a school we actively try to encourage and assist all pupils to achieve the highest possible levels of attendance .
We see regular school attendance as necessary for all pupils if they are to achieve their full potential and aim to work in partnership with parents to avoid unnecessary absences.
As from September 2013, the government enforced that the school should not agree to leave of absence unless there is an exceptional circumstance.
If you believe your request qualifies as an exceptional circumstance, you may complete a Leave of Absence form (available below or from the school office), outlining the reason for your child’s absence from school.
Please submit this form to the school, for the consideration of the Head Teacher, at least four weeks before the intended start date. Parents/carers will receive written confirmation advising whether the request for leave has been approved.
