To think ONE holiday ONCE in term time should be allowed

Basically we booked to go away on a Sun Break (don't buy and newspaper but did buy for the vouchers) and only date we were given was next weekend .. We didn't think it would cause a major problem as my older two , when younger, came on two such holidays with us with no problems .. Now though Im given a letter (with a form to fill in) and letter says if permission is denied Id be liable to a fine or court action .. Some will say we have had six weeks for holidays, which is true, but Im on a limited income as only me and my boys and term time holidays are very expensive and I want them to at least have one holiday away . . This will not be a regular thing . ,probably won;t go again in term time.

To be more reasonable I have said if Homework is given I will make sure it is done and ready to be handed in on Tuesday

I'm not even sure I see an issue. It would be perfectly possible to have the weekend away and not miss any school.

Then this whole situation would be a moot point wouldn't it?

Pick up children at 3.30 with all stuff - go away. Come back at crack of dawn on Monday and drop at school.
