Request A Pupil Absence

The Department of Education issued to schools that as of September 2013 holidays in term time should only be authorised if there are “exceptional” circumstances.

The school Head Teacher will determine whether the circumstances are exceptional or not.  Please note that there is no automatic right to take a holiday in term time.  The Head Teacher will decide how many days your child can be away from school if leave is granted.

Should you feel that you have “exceptional” reasons for applying, please complete the form below. 

Request a Leave of Absence Form
