Most castings for school age children will take place after school, from around 4pm to 7pm. Shoots will usually take place during school hours so you will need to talk to your school and make sure that they are happy with this. If your child books a job and needs to have time off school, we will need a letter from your child’s school authorising the absence as this is a requirement when applying for a Child Performance Licence.
