Hoildays in school term time

[Neilzulu1]

Hi, can anyone shed any light on the current rules regarding taking your kids on holiday in school term time?

My kids have excellent attendance and i plan to take them to Spain in September, but i am a bit worried about the possibility of being prosecuted by the local authority.

Thanks in advance.

Regardless of school policy and the moral rights and wrongs.

Missing two weeks at the beginning of a new school year can be quite awful for the children when they do return to school - friendships will have been forged, summer news caught up on and everyone else will be back in the routine.
