Hi trying to gauge if school is being unreasonable or not tbh.
Dd is working at a high level in her chosen sport and is aiming for nationals next year. She has been invited to a training camp by the county which is over 4 days meaning she would miss a Friday and Monday in school.
I spoke to the school office to ask for a holiday authorisation form to ask for the time off and was told that more than likely permission would be denied!
Surely sports training at this level should count as enrichment? Her attendance is good and she is making her targets in class.
Also if they do say no and I take her anyway what is likely to happen?
It's too good an opportunity for her to miss btw
