The only "tip" available is to only take your child out of school for weddings and funerals of very close family members, and other specifically allowable things like attending open days for decisions about which schools/colleges/universities to apply to next. Schools have no flexibility to authorise for holidays unless there's close family living the other side of the world and it's demonstrably unfeasible to only ever see them in school holidays.

Children whose parents don't value education end up with lower gcse grades and lower-paid jobs than children whose parents say "obviously we won't do that, school is important". Every time you reconsider whether to do something that might incur a fine there's a marginal improvement to your child's life chances, but if your children hear you regularly moaning about how awful it is that you can't prioritise your holidays over their education, their life chances are damaged by that even if you end up deciding not to go, because they are learning from you whether or not to bother with academic achievement at all.
