My children have a very good attendance record, and I I've never taken them out of school for a holiday. However, its expensive enough outside of school holidays, but the prices in school holidays are not even realistic. My children will never experience a foreign country, and even in this country the rise is prices are ridiculous! If the government put in place the fee on parents removing their children for a holiday. Then a cap on the extortionate price of a holiday in the UK or abroad should be taken into account or reduce taxes and increase wages!!

Ski holidays in mid term and Easter may be one the worst offenders where prices are at lease double or 3 times the price of the week before or after mid term. On Thomas Cook website, 1 week in mid term in a typical Tyrollean guest house half board is @ £1500 per person. The following week they drop to £500. Not sure why I'm bothering to teach my son to ski. He'll never experience a European ski holiday at these prices.

Yet if your child takes time off for a family holiday, the parents risk a fine!
I have four children and none off them had any time off school for family holidays.
Because of the expense of holidays abroad during school holidays we had to make do with using a friends caravan in North Wales.if the sun shone it was great but we all no the chances of that in the UK
Looking back, I should have taken them out of school and had a family holiday in the sun.They would have benefited much more from that than playing snap.
