Application for Leave of Absence
The law states that Parent/Carers do not have the right to take their child out of school for holidays during term time.
IN EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES however, the Headteacher can authorise a period of absence in the
academic year, usually 10 days. This form should be completed and signed by the Headteacher BEFORE the
holiday; otherwise an ‘unauthorised absence’ will be recorded. Where the Headteacher decides that authorisation
cannot be given but the absence still occurs, consideration will be given to the issuing of a PENALTY NOTICE in line
with Kirklees Code of Conduct. Please note permission will not be granted for Year 6 during test periods which
occur in the month of MAY.
