Meeting with Head Teacher
Posted: Thu Sep 06, 2018 9:42 am
Hi,
I would be really grateful for your thoughts on this, Please?
So I have a meeting scheduled with the Head Teacher to discuss absence from school due to acting/modelling. The school day is now longer due to the age of my child and getting to central London for auditions/castings will be impossible if they cannot be excused from the tail end of the day when a meeting is scheduled.
In addition, the HT did not want to give permission for absence for one day for a confirmed job and seems disapproving of these pursuits. Do any of you have any arguments that I can put forward about the merits of acting which will convince a Head who is negative about it? How can I sway a HT also about the benefits of say tvcs and modelling as opposed to more "serious" theatrical work? I am shocked at how unsupportive the school is and for my child to nearly loose a confirmed job was incredibly stressful. We have got to the point that if my child is called for an audition, we would question if there is any point in even going (should absence be granted for this) and if they were pencilled and then confirmed, absence would not be granted
Thank you so much for your help x
