Closed on

Allow all children and young people to take 10 days holiday leave during term time, without the risk of being fined.

This will give families the opportunity to take their children on holiday outside of peak times, which are often the most expensive times to travel.

This would be of particular benefit to less privileged children whose parents cannot afford peak season prices or the fines associated with taking children out of school during term time.

Travelling and experiencing different cultures is important for all to experience and offers learning that isn’t available in the classroom.
