Leave of absence requests:

All requests for a 'Leave of Absence' from school that involves missing part, or all, of the school day, must be authorised in advance by the Head Teacher. You are requested to give a minimum of two weeks' notice wherever possible.

Leave of absence includes, but is not limited to: medical/dental appointments, holidays, requests to leave school early.

We encourage medical/dental appointments to be booked out of school hours wherever possible. We are now required to have evidence of medical appointments before we approve your leave of absence - please send your appointment letters/or a screenshot of confirmation of your appointment to Mrs Fisher - sfisher@ightham.kent.sch.uk 

If you are asking for a leave of absence for a wedding, please provide evidence of the wedding date and your child's relationship with the wedding party.

Leave in term time will only be granted in exceptional circumstances.

Please note that it is for schools to determine whether or not a leave of absence is authorised and the Head Teacher's decision is final.
