Useful Forms and Information
Below are some useful forms and information that you may need. Hard copies of the forms are also available in the school office.
lEAVE OF ABSENCE/HOLIDAY REQUEST FORM
There is clear guidance from the Department for Education to parents regarding leave of absence or holidays in school time. Parents do not have an automatic right to take their children out of school during term-time. All pupils have 13 weeks holiday per year and parents should organise their holidays during this period.
No period of leave in term time will be granted except in exceptional circumstances (proof will need to be provided). Any absence which has not been granted will be recorded as unauthorised absence and reported to the Local Education Authority who may take legal action. Further information can be found at: https://wsh.wokingham.gov.uk/learning-and-teaching-support/education-welfare-service-including-child-employment/holidays-term
All requests must be made at least 1 month in advance and will be considered by the Headteacher whether or not to grant permission.

HOME SCHOOL AGREEMENT
At Wescott Infant School we continue to build a strong partnership between staff, parents and carers as we know this is important in helping children to achieve and to enjoy learning. We are determined to create an inclusive culture of learning where all children will be challenged in their thinking, to achieve to the best of their abilities and strive to become lifelong learners.
This can be done most effectively when all staff, parents and children understand their responsibilities and work together towards the same goals, as detailed in our Home School Agreement.
