Schools are only able to authorise absence from school in exceptional circumstances. In making a request for an authorised absence from school you will need to explain why the circumstances are exceptional. Please note: There is no general right to authorised absence for a family holiday. If you take your child out of school without permission the absence will be unauthorised, and the local authority will consider legal action. 

You are advised not to make any arrangements until your request has been considered.

If you need to request an absence for your child during term time, please complete this form and email to attendance@henrycort.org, or feel free  to drop it into the office.
