School & Education: templates and forms

Application for exemption from physical education
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.
Application to transfer to another course or mode of study
A transfer depends on available places and on how many of the examinations already passed will be recognised — which is why this application expressly asks for recognition of the subjects and a plan for making up the difference. Without that question a student transfers and then discovers they owe ten examinations. Moving from full-time to part-time study also changes the fee and the entitlement to a hall place and a grant.
Application to reduce or waive a fee
The grounds differ from one school and university to the next — financial circumstances, outstanding results, being orphaned, a disability, a large family — but the procedure is the same: a written application with documents attached, filed in time and before the fee is paid. Once the fee has been paid the request becomes a claim for a refund, which is slower and refused more often.
Application to sit a resit examination
Sitting a resit is applied for in advance and within the deadline — being entered on the examination record follows from an application, not from turning up in the hall. Give the subject, the examiner and the session exactly as they appear in the curriculum, because a mismatch is the commonest reason an application comes back. Check too whether a fee is payable.
Application for a duplicate diploma
Where a diploma is lost, destroyed or damaged, a duplicate is issued from the register held by the school or university. The application identifies exactly which diploma is wanted — year of completion, course, registration number if known — because the issuer searches an archive rather than a name. A fee is usually payable and a declaration of the circumstances required.
Application to interrupt an academic year
Interrupting studies is granted on particular grounds — health, family, work abroad, maternity — and almost always requires a document. What the application asks expressly is which examinations remain outstanding and how they are to be made up, because on returning a student is reinstated into a specific year, not where they remember being.
Application for after-school provision
A place in after-school provision is at the parent's request and is applied for in writing, usually before the school year starts, because whether a group is formed at all depends on how many applications come in. The application states from which date, until what time, and who will be collecting the child — the last matters, because a teacher will not release a child to anyone not on the list.
Application for a student certificate or academic transcript
A student certificate proves that you are enrolled — needed for a grant, for reduced public transport fares, for a bank, for a visa, for deferral from military registration. A transcript lists the subjects studied and the marks, and is asked for on a transfer or when having qualifications recognised abroad. The two are not the same thing; say which you need and what for.
Application to move a child to another kindergarten or school
The application to the head of the receiving institution. A move depends on available places and on that institution's own rules, so the application states where the child is coming from, into which group or class, and from which date. It is filed before the start of the term or the school year, when places are allocated.
Request for an employment certificate for nursery or kindergarten
In the admissions ranking for a nursery or kindergarten, working parents prove their employment with a certificate from the employer. It is most often sent back not over its content but over a missing formality. So this request spells out what the certificate must carry: the employer's company number, an outgoing reference number, a date, a signature and a stamp. File it early — the rankings have deadlines, the payroll office does not.
Parent's application for a pupil's absence
The application by which a parent excuses a child's absence for family reasons. How many days a parent may excuse themselves, and from which point the head teacher's permission is needed, is set by each school's own rules — check yours before filling in the dates. It is filed in advance, not after the child is back in class.
