Application for leave under exceptional circumstances
Our School Attendance (Students) Policies and Protocols
Term Time Holidays
The Government changed the Education (Pupil Registration) Regulations in relation to term time holidays on 1st September 2013.
As a result, Head Teachers can no longer allow any leave of absence during term time unless there are exceptional circumstances. This means that holidays in term time will not be authorised and will be marked as an unauthorised absence in the school register.
Unauthorised absences may result in a Penalty Notice being issued under the provisions of the Education Act 1996 (as amended) which means that you could be fined for your child’s absence.
Attendance Initiative
Temple Moor and Leeds schools are running a ‘Fast Track’ initiative in order to improve levels of attendance and punctuality. This initiative is to address attendance concerns quickly and efficiently. Students identified for the ‘Fast Track’ process will be monitored for a period of time and if there is not an improvement then may incur a fine.

Persistent Absence
The government identifies persistent absence as any child who has below 90% attendance. This is because research evidences that for most children this is the point at which absence can greatly impact academic progress and achievement. The table below splits this into days so that it is easier to see the real impact the % has.
We share the same expectations as families, that their child be comfortable in school; they must be safe and feel safe in a supportive learning environment. |
