Permission for absence in advance

It is expected that pupils will honour their School commitments. However, if there is a forthcoming event for which permission for absence is sought, parents must write in the first instance to the Housemaster/mistress who may in turn pass on the request to the Head Master. Any requests for absence should be made as far in advance as possible.

For St Peter's 8-13 pupils, requests for time away from school for a planned event should be in writing to your child's House Tutor, giving as much notice as possible. Requests for more than a one day absence should be made directly to Mr Falconer.
