Absence Requests During Term Time
All parents are expected to avoid requesting holiday leave for boys in term time. Given that tests and exams occur throughout the year and in Years 10 and 11 there are controlled assessment pressures throughout, absence from school is potentially damaging to a boy’s progress and eventual attainment.
In line with national expectations, from September 2011, all holiday absence requests for pupils in Years 10 to 13 will be declined and any such absence will be noted on attendance records as ‘unauthorised’. Registration categories are prescribed nationally so that comparisons can be made between schools, and ‘unauthorised’ in effect constitutes a ‘truancy’ under the government’s regulations. For pupils in Years 7 to 9, absence will only be authorised between set dates so as to avoid absence at critical times of the year. Critical times include the Autumn Term and during the Spring and Summer Terms when examinations/assessments are taking place.
Absence Requests To Take Part in Sporting Events etc
We are aware that some boys excel at particular sports and take part in individual and team activities at a high level (regional and national). We do try to accommodate requests for absence of this kind, provided that there are no formal assessments/examinations taking place. Such absence requests should be directed to the Headteacher.
Permission will not be given for requests to participate in the watching of a sporting event.
