Guidance about flexi-schooling and responsibilities.
If a parent or carer is interested in making a flexi-schooling request, the Headteacher of the child's actual or prospective school should be contacted. They will consider the proposal and decide on whether to approve the request.
The governing body may be involved in agreeing and reviewing a general approach to requests for flexi-schooling, but this does not exempt the Headteacher from the need to consider each request individually.
The whole governing body should not become involved in individual cases and cannot overturn a Headteacher's decision.
Children who attend part-time under a flexi-schooling arrangement will be subject to the same admissions processes as other children and are counted in the same way as a child who attends full-time for the purposes of infant class size regulations.
