Attendance & Leave of Absence Request Form
Did you know that across the year there are just 190 school days? That means there are already 175 days set aside for weekends, holidays, family visits and rewarding days out. We believe every school day counts to give your child the greatest opportunity of attaining a good education and to support a happy and healthy future.
Guidance and resources for attendance can be found at:
Resources for families | Children's Commissioner for England

Please note that copies of this form can be collected from the school office.
