Can you take your children on holiday during term time?
Schoolchildren are not allowed to go on holiday during term time and can only miss school if they are ill.
If parents decide to take their children out of school a £60 fine will be issued.
The fine will surge to a whopping £120 if not paid after 21 days.
Previously it was allowed to take ten days of authorised absence.
