my daughter started reception September just gone, and during the information signing last August before starting I mentioned a holiday for a week 9 months beforehand and I quote deputy said ‘that’s completely fine’
now have been told 2 months before the holiday i might possible be getting a fine for going on a holiday for a week ‘mon-sun’ (school days Mon-Fri).
im a mum of one and didn’t know about not being able to take my child on holiday due to being able to take her during nursery, and didn’t mention it to me at the time either, so didn’t have any notice to change holiday date before it was too late.
Is there anything I can do? or just deal with the fine that could be coming my way?

Ideally you'd pay it. If your finances are tight then email in to school to say that you are disappointed to learn that you may be receiving a fine, as you had discussed this with the Deputy Head prior to your DD starting at the school, and was advised that it was not an issue!
