My BIL and SIL live abroad and we only see them infrequently. They are coming over to the UK for Chinese New Year (they live in Hong Kong so I guess this is a public holiday for them) for a week next year. As this will be my children's only chance to see them and their cousins in 2016, would the school authorise a day off for them to see them? The flights are already booked and they are coming Sunday to Saturday so there isn't a weekend full day available. We don't organise family holidays in term time, so this (apart from anything unforeseen like funerals etc) would be the only day off we have ever asked for in 4 years. I don't want to get in trouble, but I do think it's important they get to spend time with relatives. I do not want the whole week off, just one day so we can do a day trip with their cousins.
