Policy on pupil leave of absence
Term time absence for holiday purposes is strongly discouraged and should always be avoided. However, the following points should be observed:
- Permission should be sought well in advance by writing to the Headmaster or the Head of the Prep School
- Permission will only be granted in exceptional circumstances, e.g. where a parent is in the armed services or after difficult family circumstances such as bereavement. Preferential rates on off peak holiday prices would not constitute exceptional circumstances.
- Permission is also dependent upon a very good record of attendance and a good behavioural record.
- Permission will not normally be granted for those pupils in Year 10 upwards.
