    The Labour govt actually wanted LEA's and schools to tighten up when they were in power and they were the ones who introduced fines and punishments for those who take kids on holiday in termtime.

    Yes, because they knew parents would anyway and the Labour Gov't knew they had another way of screwing more money out of us. It's all a ploy to make us pay more in taxes/fines. Or did you not realise that.

    LOL at how this thread has gone. Nothing like a good reasoned debate. And morons for not putting term time holidays into Google?? Cheek!!

    Have the kids finished school/college already?

    I think someone is a bit jealous that they never got a holiday while everyone else did. Don't worry AnthonyUK, we never got a holiday during term time either.

    This council DOES remove school places for taking holidays in termtime if you go for more than the 10 days you have booked and you don't inform the school (and in that case YOU as parents are responsible for ensuring your child attends another school;so it does mean that if you take 2 weeks termtime holiday from school under this council area you will lose your kids school places and you won't get any help with school transport either if you do)and they do make parents seek other school places for doing so if you fail to return and you are taken off the school register losing your places as a result taking such termtime holidays. And just because a holiday is cheaper in termtime it DOESN'T entitle you to still have it AND the law says parents DO NOT have an automatic right or entitlement to take children out of school for the purposes of termtime holidays. Also if you go over a school's rules on termtime holidays and take them out regardless then it is counted as unauthorised absence which means it IS branded truancy, and then the fine kicks in. And you will only get termtime leave in the circumstances explained in the document.

    I hate all of you for picking on me.
