permission letters
For some events, Wandsworth Music are required to apply for a BOPA or individual Child Performance License for pupils that are participating.
This is generally required where a performance or rehearsal activity takes place during the school day for Music Academy members that are in Year 11 and below and who attend a Local Authority School (i.e. not an Academy, Free or Independent School).
In order to comply with licensing regulations we must receive a copy of the written permission for a child to be absent from school – Please note this is only for pupils in Year 11 and below that attend a Local Authority Maintained School (not Academies, Independent/Private or Free Schools).
Please download the appropriate letter template below, which can be edited to include the required details for each event. Once you receive permission from school please forward this via email to John Kilshaw (n.b. we only require this information if your child is in Year 11 and below and attends a LA Maintained School)
