    You only get fined for unauthorised absence. If you can convince the headmaster to sign off on it your ok. I suspect it’s an easier argument if your kids are doing well at school and there is some benefits to the trip other than it’s cheaper.

      Also, it’s easier if your child already has good attendance. Miss every other Friday already, your holiday to manage is not being authorised, have 100% attendance, then your two days trip to visit Santa in Lapland is going to be approved
