TikTok parents reveal how they save thousands by ignoring school rules on holidays

These parents rubbed their three term-time holidays in their children's school's faces - by dancing gleefully on TikTok while bragging they still 'save thousands' despite being fined every time. Brogan and Shane Cole, 30, were looking forward to holidaying in Zante with their two children Archie Cole, 10, and Ellie Cole, seven.

In a bid to save money, mum-of-two Brogan says they chose to book the 11-day break for 18th May - which happened to be during the school term - and was hit with a £240 fine in return. The content creator, 29, claims that she approached Archie and Ellie's primary school prior to the trip, and was told that the family had until 6th July to pay up or the fine would double to an eye-watering £480.

However, Brogan claims that the family has no regrets about their trip away as they managed to save £2,000 by jetting off during the academic term. The influencer parents even shared a clip to their TikTok earlier last month that shows the pair dancing happily as they boast they 'saved 10 times [the amount of the fine] by going in term time'.
