A mum-of-two who takes her children on holidays during term time says she has saved £10,000 in doing so. Catherine Warrilow says she has never been fined for taking her two sons out of school for trips.
The mum claims she takes Noah, 14, and Sully, 10, out of school for trips abroad at least once a year, and has done so for the last ten years. By law, parents can be fined £60 for taking kids out of school during term time, and it can increase to £120 if not paid within 28 days.
But Catherine, who is the managing director of daysout.com, a company that sells tickets for attractions and experiences across the UK, says holidays are just as educational as classes, and that her sons have never fallen behind. She said: “We've chosen to do this so that we can maximise time together as a family around work and other commitments.
