With schools returning after the summer break family getaways will now be cheaper again.
The cost of travelling becomes extortionate when children are off school. Holiday retailers are aware that parents can face repercussions if they take their kids out of education during term-time. However, some parents think it is worth the risk of a fine and do it anyway.
Fines for taking children out of school were first introduced in the UK in 2013 to crack down on term-time absences. Education secretary Nadhim Zahawi said: “I know from the children’s commissioner’s work on school attendance that children themselves hugely value being in school with their teachers and their friends."
