The below form must be accompanied by a letter/email detailing the exceptional circumstances for which the leave is being requested and this must be submitted to the school office (electronically or handed in at the front desk) with sufficient notice to enable a response – two weeks prior to the absence is the recommended timescale.

Taking your child out of school during term time could be detrimental to their educational progress. If the absence is not authorised and the leave is taken, schools may refer to the Local Authority for legal action.
