We’re moving back to the UK after some time away. We left a while ago and before the kids were at school, so never had to deal with the whole fines for missing school thing.
We’ve got a holiday booked for next February half term which involves travel on the Friday before. Where we currently are this isn’t a massive deal and we booked two years ago, well before we knew we would be moving.
All three kids are primary school. Is fining automatic now, or is it down to school/local authority approach? Just trying to work out whether I should be paying quite a bit to try to change the travel dates. For the record, this is not something we do regularly - even without sanctions here we don’t take the kids out of school for holidays normally, this is an exception.
