ClaireClaire Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Hello there, We're going to New Zealand for Christmas (to visit family), and are planning to take the kids out of school for the last week before Xmas holidays. Can any Heber parents advise me on the best way to talk to the school about this? I seem to recall there was some discussion about this on the forum a few months ago, but can't find the thread. Can I just write a letter explaining our circumstances? If the headteacher doesn't give us permission, and we go anyway.... what happens then?Appreciate any advice.Claire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curmudgeon Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Yes write a letter requesting permission and outlining whyFully expect a standard response confirming that they won't approve the absence so it would go down as unapproved family holidayGo anyway and have a lovely timeI assume attendance dis normally excellent Under 85% would be deemed persistent absence and you might get EWO involvement etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
