Generally fines will be issued if attendance will fall below 90%.
is the fine also weekly or just period of absence ?? i have put in to the budget £120 per child just incase we get fined but i thought it was just a standard fixed rate and not per week ??
i really hope its not per week as we are taking 3 weeks out of school
Why not just lie and tell the school the child was ill, it is for them to prove otherwise.
nice to hear !at least 7 days of our trip are school holidays so it could have been worse and had 4 week off!! my dh works away alot so we cant wait to spend so long togetherIt's standard fixed rate.
We take the boys out pretty much every year! For 3wks, I refuse to pay school holiday prices.
Plus dh military and works in a department where summer is mega busy and they won't allow holiday till the end of August.
We've not actually ever had to pay the fine yet, but are always warned about it, our kids are just turned 10,10,13
