Re: school
Heard about something like this before and think it is stupid.
Some people can only get holidays at certain times so have no choice. When i was at school i was always taken out of school the last two weeks in july before we broke up for the summer because it was the only time my parents could get time off work. |
Re: school
Oh good they have halved it :D
Didn't it used to be £100 for the past few years since they brought it in. I think the words 'can be fined' not 'will be fined' spring to mind. Unless pam has seen something nobody else has seen :confused: |
Re: school
its £50 per child, it was on GMTV this morning
i think its at the schools discretion what i want to know is....where will the money be going? school funds? back to the government? to buy some nice little cakes for the teachers? |
Re: school

Re: school
It is if people take thier kids away without schools permission, so, let me see, holiday in august @ £3000, or July at £2000, minus £50 fine, saves £950, Mmmmm, what shall I do?
Just for the record, I paid the August prices. |

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 :D 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 |
Re: school
Nice to have a choice when you do go on holiday. Teachers don't.

Re: school
I always went on holiday either the 9th or at the latest 10th July when i was at school. Always went to Northern Ireland for the 12th and 13th and went for 2 weeks. It was the best time for dad to go and also to see all the relatives. There was only one year we didnt go and that was because my dad was ill and that was when i was in the 4th year at high school.

No, teachers have to fit their holidays into the 11 weeks or so that they get off every year...............must be a real pain.......:cool: |
