HIya All.
As some of you may know every October my family and I travel to WDW for three deperately looked forward to, weeks in Florida.
As a rule we travel the two weeks prior to the Half Term, returning in time for the children to commence the first day of the new term. This 10 day period was always authorised without any problem by the schools head teacher.
However, all of us in the area in which I live, so not just my childrens school, have recently received letters from the local authority advising us that not one day leave will now be authorised by the head Teacher unless its for a "unavoidable circumstances" ie funerals etc.
I am therefore wondering if any of you guys have this policy in place where you live and have regardless taken your children out of school. If so what were the consequencies if any?, did you still write to the school advsing of them of the holiday leave?
I feel I must point out that my children are only young been DS8, DS7, DS4 and DD3. Between ourselves we have already made the decision that once our eldest has started Senior school we will then stick to School Holidays, but was really looking forward to have a little flexibilty before then.
I think I fear been met at immigration upon our return by the Police and led away to face a week in prision as punishment
