The department recently consulted on our intention to bring rules for granting leaves of absence in academies in line with other state-funded schools. The link to the consultation is here: https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/school-attendance-improving-consistency-of-support.

The department will publish a response to the consultation in due course.
