Aibu to consider taking my DC out for a weeks holiday? We can’t afford school holiday prices this year having just gone back from mat leave and also DC struggles with really busy places. We had thought that we just won’t go away this year but actually we do really want to and could afford to go in June. We won’t get fined as DC is summer born.

Ultimately, despite what some people want to believe, missing a few days of reception will have no effect whatsoever on their education.

Regularly missing school is the damaging thing.

Do it. It will be fine.

To add, this would be a UK holiday, we won’t be going abroad this year
