Permission Letter for School : Many-a-times it happens that a political party or organization wishes to host an event, public speech or some other event in a school or college. For that, it is required that they write a letter to the higher authorities of the school seeking permission to use their premises or ground for a particular event.
Similarly, parents and teachers can write a formal letter to the school requesting leave for their child (or themselves in the case of a teacher) or also if they have any complaint or some other request to make. All these letters can be considered to be a permission Request for school .
The basic format of the letter is like any other formal letter without many changes. The letter starts with the name and the address of the sender. After that, you need to mention the date on which you have written the letter.
After that, you need to mention the name and address of the sender to whom the letter is addressed to which follows with the subject line. Do not forget to mention the subject line as ‘Permission letter’ in case you are seeking permission or as per the request you are making to the school or college authorities.
Here’s the basic format you need to follow while writing a permission letter for school/college:
Sender’s Name
Sender’s Address
Receiver’s Name
Receiver’s Address
Subject: Permission Letter
Salutation
Body of the letter
Sincerely
Name of the Sender (the first name is enough)
Signature of the Sender
Writing a permission letter for school is not that difficult. However, you need to follow some basic guidelines and tips that will make your letter flawless and to-the-point.
Here are some useful tips that you can adhere to while writing a permission letter for school:
A formal permission letter is a must if you wish to avail permission from a school or college for some even or function. The norm is to carry a formal letter even if you have scheduled a meeting with the school authority.
The letter must not contain unnecessary information and sharing of thoughts and opinions about school policies must be strictly avoided. If you are writing a complaint letter then also the tone of the letter needs to be polite and the concerns must be explained with honesty and sincerity.
A school arranges a lot of extra-curricular and sports activity for the students after or during school hours. Therefore, if a student wishes to be a part of it, then the parents can write a permission letter to the authorized person of the school.

I, Imani Tally, am the father of JohnsonTally who is studying in Class V of your reputed school. We have come to know that students of Standard V and VI will be practicing for a stage drama after school hours in the coming week.
I would like Johnson to be a part of it as he seems to be interested in acting from his childhood days. It would be a rejoicing moment for me and my family to see my son act on the stage. Therefore, I request you to consider him for any role in the stage act.
I am hoping for a positive response from your end. Thank you!

Sometimes a student needs a few leaves due to some emergency or for attending a family function or event. In such cases, a parent has to write a request letter to the school principal or class teacher to ask their permission for the same.
