Petition Action

Allow a short break for families traveling on holiday during school term.

Petition Details

On behalf of the parents, we ask you to lift penalties for parents who go on a short holiday during school term (please excuse up to 5 days during the year).

Additional Information

Our request is motivated by the fact that we want to spend time together with children. Most parents work even when their children are half term. The second also important reason is that the costs of holidays during Half term are much higher than when traveling during the school term.
