Absence from school
The local authority may not grant a licence unless they're satisfied that the child’s education will not suffer by taking part in the performance or activity. Parents may be asked to speak to their child’s school about time off for the performance or activity. The local authority may specify that tutoring arrangements are made as a condition of the licence being granted.
Absence from school may only be authorised:
- by the Headteacher
- for pupils with a performance licence
