JHS Music Development Plan

RE 

In England and Wales Parents have the statutory right under Section 71 of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 to withdraw their children from RE lessons and acts of Collective Worship in schools.

As parents you are not obliged to give a reason for requesting the withdrawal.

However before exercising any right of withdrawal we would recommend you discuss your concerns with a senior member of staff.

Requests for withdrawals must be made in writing and approval can only be given by the Headteacher.

Students who are withdrawn from these lessons, will be directed to complete additional work from other subjects.
