Any Additional Comments You Wish To Add? Signature * Clear Signature Acknowledgement By signing below, you confirm that you understand the following: An absence request is not an entitlement, but a request that requires approval. Holidays during term time are generally not authorised, as there are sufficient school breaks for family holidays. Taking time out of school can negatively impact a child’s education. Therefore, we strongly discourage term-time absences unless absolutely necessary. The school will not provide work for students taken out of school for holidays during term time. Now please scroll to the bottom and click 'Request Absence' and we will be in touch shortly. The below section is for school staff, please do not complete below this point.
