Allow Families To Have A Holiday During Term Time

Carol Costa has created a petition which we felt we just could not share.

Allow parents to take children out of school for 1 week a year during term time

I’m fed up of being over charged for a family holiday during the school holidays. It’s unfair that families pay an inflated holiday cost just because it is the school holidays. This needs to be combatted to allow hard working families to be able to afford to take their children away.

As a mum of three, I understand the importance of education and how instrumental our children’s attendance is to their successful progression but quality family time is also important.

Many families can simply not afford to go away during the school holidays.

We need to allow hard working parents to enjoy their children on a weeks holiday when they choose, once a year at a price that isn’t inflated. The only way this is achievable is during term time when prices go down dramatically
