When would be the best tome
That would effect her schooling the least ?

Need to go for two weeks she will have a weeks school holidays w/c 31st May
So could go a week before or week after so one of the weeks will be school hols so she will only loss one week of school

Why would you need to take her out?
Year 9 is ks4 so gcse preparation. Very important.

Some school start some GCSE work in Y9 especially in subjects like science, sometimes just in the final term but some schools do 3 year GCSE courses

You need to find out about exams. DD’s are always the week before half term, but DS’s are later.

Depends on your school.

At DC's school Year 9 is in KS4, so they are working on GCSE options. Whenever you chose to take a week off they would be losing a week of GCSE work.

It's unlikely the school would run Year 9 mocks at that time as it's during proper exam season. Honestly, I'd ask the year team assuming it's a legit reason.

I wouldn't have a secondary age child miss any school for the next however many years until their GCSEs, they are all going to have such a hard time when they get back to school never mind the poor teachers trying to get everyone caught up
