Hi all,

Question for you all...

We're going away in May for 10 days, we leave on a Wednesday (during half term) and arrive home the following Saturday.

The Monday after half term is an inset day so they are only missing 4 days of school.

I've just read through the school that inset days are classed as school days and therefore they will be missing 5 days meaning we will be fined!

Surely this isn't fair, we booked it purposely so they wouldn't miss a whole week and we could avoid the fine.

Any advice on how to not get fined appreciated 🤣

PS - 100% attendance usually and very very rarely off school.

Thanks in advance.

They are off Wednesday Thursday Friday (all half term) then the following Monday (inset day) and then Tuesday, Wednesday Thursday and Friday which are normal school days so 4 school days plus inset day.
