Headteachers can only authorise these requests if there are exceptional reasons for the absence. Therefore, parents should explain fully why they need to remove their child from school and provide any necessary evidence.
If the Headteacher declines the request, parents will be informed in writing of this. If the child is absent for this period, the matter will be referred to the Local Authority who may issue a Fixed Penalty Notice.
