Absence Request Form Years 7-11

PLEASE READ THE VCJ POLICY BEFORE MAKING AN ABSENCE REQUEST

For the Sixth Form (Years 12-13), please use the Absence Request under the Sixth Form/Parent Portal page.

Attendance at school is statutory and children are required to attend school for 188 days each year, and every day is important.

In order to obtain permission parents are reminded that:
1. Holiday bookings should not be confirmed prior to gaining approval.
2. Adequate notice of 10 working days is required for applications to be processed.
3. It is your responsibility to ensure that your child is available for all assessments relating to externally awarded qualifications.

There will be certain occasions when requests for absences will not be authorised e.g. during exam time, child’s poor attendance record. If request for an absence is not authorised, parents have the right to appeal to the Director General of CYPES.
