Holiday during term time

I have booked a 4 day trip the week before the Easter holidays. I don’t like taking the children out of school, but it is an extra £1000 to go the following week.
I have 2 in primary (yr 1 & 3) and one in secondary (yr 8).
I know I’m going to get comments saying that it is wrong to do so, but would like advice from those who have had done the same.
Have you been honest and what reasons did you give?
I was thinking of a sickness and vomiting bug as it covers at least two of the day’s and can extend it - but seems a little too much of a coincidence.

If I’m travelling the week before the Easter holidays how late do you think I can leave it before informing the school?

It wouldn't make a difference to their decision whether you told them tomorrow or next term.
Generally I'd try to give a fortnight notice where possible.
