Family holidays/school holidays
Children have 13 weeks annual holiday from school and school holiday dates are published well in advance. As such, all parents/carers are expected to plan and take their family holidays at this time so as not to disrupt their children’s education. The law states that parents do not have a right to take their child out of school for a holiday during term time.
Parents/carers who take their child out of school without written permission from the school can be issued with a fixed penalty fine.
