Example Template

To, The Principal, [School Name], [School City/Address]

Date: 15 August 2024

Subject: Application for Change of Subject.

Respected Sir/Madam,

With due respect, I am [Your Name], a student of Class 11 [Your Section] in your esteemed school.

I opted for Commerce with Mathematics at the beginning of the academic session. However, after attending the classes for a month, I have realized that I am finding Advanced Mathematics extremely difficult to cope with. I am unable to perform well in the class tests, and it is affecting my overall academic confidence.

Therefore, I humbly request you to kindly allow me to change my optional subject from Mathematics to Physical Education. I promise to work hard and cover the missed syllabus for Physical Education.

I will be highly obliged for your kind consideration.

Thanking you,

Yours obediently, [Your Name] Class: 11-B Roll No: 24
