Holiday Request Forms

It is a legal requirement for parents/carers to obtain permission of the Headteacher before removing their child from school in order to take a holiday during term time.  Parents/ carers do not have an automatic right to take their child out of school for holidays during term time and may be issue with a Penalty Notice (£100 per parent per child) if they do so without prior arrangement with the Headteacher. 

Parents/carers wishing to apply for their child to be granted leave from school should complete this form and return it to school for consideration before booking and well in advance of the proposed leave.  Upon receipt of a request the Headteacher will make a decision as to whether to authorise the absence, being mindful of government regulations and LA guidance.  The legislation only allows the Headteacher to authorise such leave in special or exceptional circumstances.  By definition, special or exceptional trips should not occur regularly.  Therefore, it is not expected that holiday leave will be requested on an annual basis.

For leave of more than 10 days in duration, or when school have concerns about the leave request, the Headteacher or their representative will arrange to meet with you to discuss your application.  Please see overleaf for factors that will be taken into account by school when considering a request for leave.

Please complete the form below if your child will be absent from school for a holiday or event
