When a person wants to leave their old school and join a new one, they need a leaving certificate from their previous school. The reason for leaving their current school may be of any kind, but they need a school leaving certificate to indicate that they have completed a particular level of education from their previous school and are now eligible to join another school. Generally, schools provide these kinds of certifications by themselves to the students.

An application for a school leaving certificate is a formal letter and thus one should write it in a particular way or proper format. Mentioned below, is the format to be followed for writing a school leaving certificate application.
