Taking child out of school due to house purchase delay

[Snugmummy]

Hello! We sold our house around 10 weeks ago and have been renting an air b&b until our new house is finished. Due to a variety of reasons the new house has been delayed & we need to vacate our rented house in 2 days!
Our builder has today informed us that the solicitor is still waiting on 1 form from the insurer and it could take as long as 5 days! We then need the funds released from our mortgage company, so god knows how long that will take!
anyway, I’m rambling! We need to stay at a relatives until we can move into our new house, but it’s too far away to take my DD to school every day. Does anyone have any experience with how the school will deal with this? I’m hoping to home school her in the interim.

You won't necessarily get fined. It's up to the schools discretion. Our HT (infant school) said informally that they don't ever issue fines for one family holiday per school year (even if it's 2 weeks) - only if it's multiple holidays in a school year.

Just want to correct a previous poster; there is no right to appeal a TPN.

So I spoke to the head teacher this morning and she was brilliant! Will be sending home school work for this week but advised that if it goes on into the next week then to try to bring her in every other day to break the absence up or she will have report it. Couldn’t be fairer so very happy and much more relaxed about the whole thing!
thanks for your replies everyone!
