A mum has been fined hundreds of pounds for taking her kids on holiday during term time but is determined to keep doing it.
Rachel Smith says she has saved £10,000 on unauthorised trips away with her kids by avoiding bumped up school holiday prices, a sum which far outstrips the fines she received upon her return.
The 33-year-old takes her two children Brayden, 11, and Elianna, nine, out of school every year during term time to go on holiday abroad, and says she saved £3,000 just last year alone.
