My DD is in year 1. I have just finished uni and booked a holiday for me and my DD. We leave Monday and are back the following Monday.
The only reason I have booked it in school time is because I will be starting work very soon and we will then have holidays in holiday time. Also money is obviously very tight atm.
I filled in school form to ask permission and they have sent a letter home saying they can not authorise this and it will be classed as unauthorised absence.Literally this is it.
So my question is will I be fined? How does it work?
I know it isn’t the best but the holiday cost probably a lot less than a fine I can only guess as I booked way in advance and got a hood deal (not abroad) of £200 and something. How much are fines?
Just to add as to not drip feed. DD has had one hell of a year because of her father and the school know this. She has missed some days because of this and doctors were involved as I couldn’t get her to leave the house and she also wasn’t eating.
