In cases other than illness, leave may also be arranged. The school is entitled to grant additional leave only in special circumstances. Extra vacations are expressly not counted as special circumstances by the legislature.

An informative leaflet about the (im)possibilities of extra leave can be obtained from the compulsory education officer in your municipality. 

In the case of a multi-day leave, it must be requested from the year group coordinator at least one week in advance. Forms to request this leave can be downloaded from the school intranet (my.lcl.co.uk).

Requesting time off for theory and/or driving skills exams for car, moped or scooter should be done at least one week in advance.

Upper school students are granted up to two days of leave per school year for study and vocational orientation.
