Hi all,
I'm looking for a bit of advice with applying for a 6-weeks leave of absence for my 2 kids. Hubby is being posted in Bermuda from November this year until July next year and although we do plan to visit during the holidays, I would like to join him for a 4 to 6 weeks at some point. I think it would be a great experience for the kids, and I also believe in spending time together as much as possible.
I'm totally prepared to home school the boys during that period, however the school is saying that they will lose their place if I do that....
I have come across some guidance for schools which I'm hoping I can use....
www3.hants.gov.uk/guidance-for-schools-requests-for-extended-leave-of-absence-final.pdf
The head teacher is notoriously unhelpful (I tried to talk to her and hit a brick wall)....
Has anyone has any experience of this kind of request, especially since the rules have changed ?
Suggestions welcome....
Thanks!
