Absence Requests

Years 7 – Year 11

To request an absence for a pupil (including medical/dental appointments), please complete the form linked below. Please do not use this form for reporting sickness absences – these should be reported by either phoning the school or emailing absence@hardenhuish.wilts.sch.uk

In the case of holiday absence, it is unlikely that holiday requests during term time will be authorised unless extenuating circumstances can be explained to the Headteacher. If a pupil has less than 90% attendance at school and is absent due to an unauthorised holiday, a referral to the Local Authority for a penalty notice is likely to occur.
