	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/07/2017 answer text <p>We are pleased the Supreme Court unanimously agreed with our position that no child should be taken out of school without good reason. As before, head teachers have the discretion to decide when exceptional circumstances allow for a child to be absent, but this ruling removes the uncertainty for schools and local authorities that was created by the High Court judgment.</p><p>The evidence shows that every extra day of school missed can affect a pupil’s chances of achieving good GCSEs, which has a lasting effect on their life chances.</p><p>We are examining the Supreme Court judgment carefully and considering what our next steps will be.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 12/07/2017 16:29:02 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
