APPLICATION FOR LEAVE OF ABSENCE FOR PUPIL
ANNUAL
HOLIDAY FROM SCHOOL DURING TERM
TIME
Appendix (c) Essex Code of Conduct for Penalty Notices
Taking your child out of school during term time could be detrimental to your
child’s educational progress.
Parents should not normally take their children on holiday in term time. There is no legal right to do so. However, you may apply to the school for leave of absence for up to 10 days in the school year. Agreement to the Governing Body (Pupil Registration Regulations 1995 – amended 1997). Each case will be judged on its merits in line with certain considerations as outlined in guidance from the DfES.
If the absence is not authorised and the holiday is taken any way, the case
will be referred to the Education Welfare Service who may issue a penalty Notice
for £100 (or £50 if paid within 28 days)
to each parent for each
child taken out of school.
