Permission Slip Template

A ready-to-use permission slip

Every school outing needs a signed consent form, and writing one from scratch each time wastes valuable planning minutes. This generator builds a clean, professional permission slip in seconds. You set the activity name, destination, date, departure and return times, and cost, and the tool lays them out on a single branded page with a clear consent statement and a parent or guardian signature line. Print one master copy, photocopy it for the whole class, or generate a fresh slip for every separate trip.

The form is deliberately simple so parents can read and sign it quickly, while still capturing everything a school needs on file before a child leaves the premises.

What the form includes

• Pupil details — name and class or year group fields.
• Activity and venue — wide lines for the trip name and destination.
• Date and times — separate date, departure, and return fields.
• Cost and transport — optional fields for the charge and how pupils will travel.
• Emergency contact — a line for a name and phone number.
• Medical and dietary notes — a ruled box for allergies or conditions.
• Consent and signature — a standard agreement statement with parent signature and date lines.

How to use it

1. Enter the form title and, if you wish, your school or organisation name.
2. Toggle the optional cost, transport, medical, and emergency-contact fields on or off.
3. Decide whether to show pupil name and class fields.
4. Preview the live PDF, then download or print on A4 or US Letter.

Tips for trip organisers

Send slips home with a clear return deadline and keep a class checklist of which have come back signed. Photocopying a single completed master keeps every form identical, which makes filing and auditing easier. For recurring clubs or weekly activities, generate one slip that covers the whole term rather than a new one each week. Always store signed slips securely until after the activity, then dispose of them in line with your data-protection policy.

Why it is consistent and printable

The slip is produced through the same branded PDF engine used across the site, so margins, fonts, and footer details match every other printable you generate. There is no answer key — this is a form, not a worksheet — and the layout fits comfortably on one page so it photocopies cleanly. Because the PDF is built in your browser, no pupil names or details are ever sent to a server.
