How to give notice in writing to school to tell them we're taking dd out

[FrenchGirl]

Any particular way we need to word it? Want to be nice.
It's a private school and we need to give a term notice. Dd will be home edd'ed for a year (with a day at french school a week), then will hopefully go to a very good independent girl school.
Not sure how to word it and how much info to give them......

We just went through this - basically i made the letter really brief and literally just gave the facts of WHEN they were leaving .... but i made an appointment to see the headmaster, gave him the letter but told him the reasons face to face .... i think this was appreciated at the time (cheeky bugger is trying to fleece us for more than a terms notice but that is another story!!!0

thanks tessiebear. Did he try to make you feel bad about it or to reconsider? And did you tell him where your child is going next?
