[pinkdinosaur]

Evening all

We have Totally messed up and booked our holiday of a life time in term time!!

We have just found out the october holidays have moved next year and instead of the kids missing 2 weeks of school which we checked was ok with the council education dept (we will be fined) now the third week we have booked is not in the holidays as we thought!!

Panic

So wwyd?? Take them out (all at primary) and sod it its our american holiday of a life time and vow renewal!! Or change the dates?? Costing 3k more!!

Has anyone taken there children out of school for that Long???

It was a never a good idea to miss 2weeks of school, now 3. Change dates. Whatever the cost if affordable

My kids have also moved countries and because of their birthday missed a year of school, catching up was hard but doable and that was a whole year. I wouldn't worry too much. I asked if they could go into the same year and was told no, so schools don't worry too much when it suits them.
