Missing Year 12 After Exams

Hi, I have finished my year 12 exams and courseworks will finish this week possibly.
What would happen if I miss 3 to 4 weeks before summer holidays even if I have finished all my exams and year 12 courseworks?
We get our holidays same time as other lower years like 7,8,9 and 10. I want to go holiday and want to make the most of it as I am going far to visit families.
They might make us start next years practice for coursework but it will not affect our grades I believe.

You will start the rest of your course now so it would be foolish to miss the end of term. It will count as unauthorised absence and you could be taken off roll if you are absent for so long with no good reason.

My last course deadline is like next week, 2 weeks at most. I plan to go in about 3 weeks. Hence why I am asking of the consequences. I have done well this year in each of my subjects. I also need time off because i know that my mental health is draining and i am longing to see my loved ones. Since they are far 30 days will not be enough for me as i will be going to see them after more than 5 years.

You need permission not to attend school and your reason isn't valid. You have a six week holiday - how is that not enough?

You wil start Year 13 behnd eeruone else and that's not great for your MH is it?

honestly I wouldn't recommend it. 6 weeks is a month and a half I think that's enough time. missing yr13 content puts you in a terrible position for september because yr13 is already hard enough.

id understand missing maybe a week? But a whole month is a bit ridiculous, under what grounds would you even do this?
Might risk getting kicked out.
