LEAVE OF ABSENCE

It is the policy of the Educational Authority that authorisation of any Leave of Absence is at the discretion of the Headteacher. A leave of absence form must be completed if children are to be taken out of school but before this is completed parents must ask the school office to identify the child’s attendance figure.

Where an attendance figure falls below 90% or a leave of absence has been requested at the beginning of a term or during an assessment period it may not be authorised unless there are extenuating circumstances. If such circumstances exist then parents are requested to make an appointment to see the headteacher.
