From 1st September 2013, the reference in law to Headteachers/Principals being able (at their discretion)
to agree up to 10 days of leave of absence has been removed. Instead, the legal reference has been
amended and will mean that schools cannot authorise leave of absence unless:
- The Head teacher/Principal considers that there are exceptional circumstances relating to the application.
PLEASE DO NOT BOOK ANY FLIGHTS/HOTELS/ETC UNTIL LEAVE HAS BEEN AGREED.
