Leave of Absence in Term Time

If your daughter has time off before or after any school holiday, her absence will be classed as Extended Leave of Absence and marked with the code of G (leave without permission) and after 10 sessions (5 days) the Local Authority may issue a penalty fine (you should also be aware that if her absence exceeds 20 days her name may be removed from our register).

Any leave of absence in term time must be applied for at least 10 days in advance. Official Forms for this purpose are obtainable from Student Services. I would also advise you that any unauthorised leave taken during term time may incur a penalty fine from the Local Authority. As of 1st September 2013 the fine will be £120 per parent per child reduced to £60 per parent per child if paid within 21 days.
