Plans to stop pupils being taken out of school during term time to go on holiday aren't making much difference.
Soon headteachers will be able to fine parents £100 if they choose to go on a family holiday without permission.

I've just taken the quote above from a story on the BBC website in 2004. It's nothing new.
I haven't yet had to go in term time, living in the Pendle area the holidays up to 2 years ago were different than standard time anyway, particularly the September one, which was great for prices
Then some tin pot county councillors in their ivory offices decided to scrap them and make everyone have the same term times.
I would consider it but it would depend on what year the kids were in. Lets face it they do ****** all in the last couple of weeks before the holidays anyway
