Guest Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 First CONGRATULATIONS second, it depends on where you work and your contract obligations. If I employed you and I had sufficient notice I would gladly give the time off. I would however have to negotiate whether it was paid or not.

Guest Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Sorry, I don't know about schools policy. Peggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacquieL Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Congratuations and what a fantastic place to go for a honeymoon. If you are in a school you may have to take the extra time without pay, if they agree to give you this time as leave of absence. Only you will know what the likely reaction of your HT and Governors is likely to be. You can only ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Sara, you need to ask your head about this. You will almost certainly need to put it in writing and it will need to go to the governors fro final approval. You stand more chance of this being granted if you ask for unpaid leave. In my experience, you will not be refused but do not take it for granted and book without approval. Good luck and congratulations!! I'm an October bride too and will be celebrating my silver wedding this year, but like my honeymoon only a few days away have been booked!!
