Traveller children have to attend school for 380 sessions (190 days) each year, which is the same for all children and you are at risk of being referred to the Local Authority School Liaison Officer if «forename»’s attendance falls below 90%. I am unable to authorise any absence during term time unless there are exceptional circumstances or if you will be travelling for occupational purposes and agree this with the school in advance. If you would like to speak to me about «forename»’s attendance, please telephone the school to make an appointment. Yours sincerely Head Teacher Appendix 11 «addressee» «address_block» «date_of_printing» Dear «salutation» Traveller Absence «forename» «surname» Thank you for contacting me to say that «forename» will be absent from school from ??Date as you will be travelling due to your work. The law allows me to authorise «forename»’s absence if your trade or business means that you have to travel from place to place. However, you have not let me know when «forename» is likely to return to school. Unless you contact me during the next 10 school days to confirm a date, I will refer «forename» to the Local Authority as a Child Missing Education.
