Please find below the most current version of our Absence Request form for planned absences. These forms should be filled out by a parent or guardian and returned to the school office at least 7 days prior to the planned absence for review by the Headteacher and for the admin team to respond. For safeguarding purposes, we must have time to process these forms and they will only be approved if the absence is for an exceptional circumstance.

An information booklet for parents on Penalty Notices can be found at here.
