Will I get fined if take child out of school? UK
Child is 5 years old but only in reception will I still get fined if I take child out of school for a holiday?

It’s the term after they turn 5. It’s highly likely. I’d also be careful if booking a holiday in yr1 as the fine increases.
Apparently for our 5yr old it’s £160 per adult per child. So for us it would be £ 320 to take her out
It depends on the individual school/headteacher. Where I work we don't really fine people unless it keeps happening. x
No fines in Scotland so depends where you are

It’s the decision of each “local authority”. So you may or may not get fined. I’d say just be prepared for one that way if you do you’re not suprised. I would imagine the holiday would still be cheaper with fines added on top. So if it was an option for me I’d definitely do term time holidays. Unfortunately I work in a school so not an option 😢
