Request for absence in term time

Please complete this form to request time off in term time for circumstances including (but not limited to) holidays, religious festivals, sporting events, school tours etc.

Please be aware, as per our school’s attendance policy and the Hertfordshire published Code of Conduct relating to school attendance, that the law requires parents to seek permission from the head teacher to take their child out of school during term time.  The law states permission can only be granted if:

 1. An application has been made in advance by the parent the child normally lives with; and  2. There are exceptional circumstances.

 Please also note that, if on the rare occasion circumstances are deemed exceptional by the head teacher, the duration your child is permitted to be away from school may only be determined by the head teacher.
