Rejected petition Scrap The New Attendance Regulations Rules in Schools
More details
From the 1st of September 2013 the Government has decided to change the attendance regulations rules meaning no child can be taken out of school during term time for holidays etc.
Previous to this it was at the schools discretion whether to allow upto 10 days per year for holidays.
Parents will be fined upto £120 per parent per child.
This penalizes against those parents who are less well off & need to take holidays during term time due to massive price rises during school holidays.
We need 100,000 signatures for it to be brought to parliament for discussion so Please Sign & ask everyone you know to sign.
