Application for exemption from physical education

Published byDocMuse

Exemption is granted by the head teacher and almost always rests on a medical document — an application with no certificate attached is usually sent back. Mark whether you are asking for a full exemption or only from particular activities, because a partial one is granted more readily. The pupil still has to attend the lesson unless the decision says otherwise.

Common questions

Is the application on its own enough?

No. An exemption almost always rests on a medical document, and an application with no certificate attached is usually sent back. That is why the document is a separate field, with its issuer and date.

Should I ask for a full or a partial exemption?

A partial one is granted more readily and is better for the child. If the restriction covers only certain kinds of exertion, describe which — that lets the pupil take part in the rest.

Does the child have to attend the lesson?

As a rule yes — an exempted pupil attends unless the decision says otherwise. The exemption is from the exertion, not automatically from the lesson.

How is the mark for the subject arrived at?

On a long exemption, assessment is handled in the manner the school's rules provide rather than simply falling away. Ask expressly how the term mark will be recorded before the term ends.
