Families face £120 fine if kids are taken out of school to go on holiday

ok.co.uk:

All families could face a £120 fine for taking their children on holiday during school time, with new rules potentially being introduced to crackdown on kids missing lessons.

Local councils current decide whether to issue a fine to parents or not, which means that while some have to pay the £120 fee, others manage to avoid the charges.

In a bid to stop children from missing lessons at school, the government have outlined plans to make sure that every family is fined if they take their kids away during term time, rather than it being down to their local authority.
