just pay the fine
last year I took the junior egg away for a week 60 quid fine
saved over a grand compared to school holiday time
nothing to complain about there
Other than you've still paid £60 more than you should need to and you are now stored on a database held somewhere, probably insecurely and for the reference of god knows who and why.

My eldest daughter is in a wheelchair and one of the only accessible places we can go on holiday is Center Parcs. However, during school holidays it is so busy all the things she can do there are overcrowded so its a catch 22.
With this in mind i decided to take the whole family there during term time and informed the school. They told me they couldn't approve the absence and tried to lecture me about my daughter missing days and the effect it would have. I politely (not so much) told them I'm not asking your permission just being honest enough to tell you what is gonna happen and went regardless.
No fine, no warning. Fuck em.

Go on then. Show me that law that must be obeyed.
The point being, the council get these things rubber stamped through a magistrates court (they create their own warrants). They go through a criminal court for a civil matter because they know damned right that a county court judge wouldn't touch it with a bargepole because no law, be it common law or statue law has been broken by taking children on holiday.
If it was the law, then schools wouldn't need to opt in, it would be mandatory.

No contradiction at all. You want the nanny state and then you kick off when it adversely affects you. I see it's all the massive lefties queuing up on here to scream 'it's not fair'. No change there.

its not free child minding is it. i love it when teachers use this as an excuse.
taking kids out out school during exams IS irresponsible though.
to be fair though, i dont blame parents for wanting the kids to spend less time with the teachers. from reading the papers most of them spend their time grooming the kids rather than teaching them.

Surface you've made the mother of all contradictions there.
Its the nanny state imposing restrictions on the family unit.
You telling us that your parents didn't take you out of school when you were school age?
You have disappointed me - take the rest of the day off.

I've had kids who have gone through school. You can't make excuses. As soon as you start allowing parents to take kids out of school in the last two weeks of summer term others will push the boundaries and take them out the fortnight before their GCSE's.
Why should those who obey the law subsidise through wasted tax and higher holiday prices, those who don't?
It's the nanny state run wild. People expect 40 weeks per year free child-minding and a world-class education for nothing and then kick off when requested that they actually make their kids attend school full-time. The sense of entitlement running through this thread is enormous

Fed up with all these people claiming child benefit. If you can't afford kids don't have them, full stop.
Nothing to do with this but just saying like.

best way to avoid a fine is to take your children on holiday during the school holidays.

As per email, it's about OFSTED and inspection requirements/school ratings rather than funding.
My boy has been so ill and had some freak injuries (all documented by hospital / doctor) that he's missed 15% of school this year yet he is top of his year and working at the equivalent of 2 years above his age group. But the cunts send me threatening letters about fines and expecting me to sign up to "attendance contract" that he'll be there 100% of the time. The hospital has written them a letter saying this is likely to re-occur at points during the rest of his teenage years as there is nothing they can do except grow out of the problem. So I'm going to asking them next week what miracle medical cure they can provide to ensure my son is there 100% of the time.

Surface,
If you had children of school age you would know that the last few weeks are a pointless exercise.
The attendance requirements are probably more to do with funding than actual education, which is why you get all protective about your money funding others.
Remember that if you break a leg skiing and have to be treated by the NHS, I dont ski so pay for your own accidents.
