Stop fining parents for family holidays during term time
Stop fining parents who take their children out of school for family holidays
Families struggle with the cost of holidays during school holidays- family time is extremely important in building confident happy children with strong family relationships and preventing parents from going on holiday with their children for a week when they can financially afford to do so is criminal so these fines should be stopped
