Glad that the result of the High Court supports the importance of continuity in school education and that parents who flout the system should be penalised unless exceptional circumstances are first approved by the school/education authority in question.

Someone pointed out that travel firms should be ‘encouraged’ not to so severely hike up the prices of holidays during official school holiday periods! Good point!

Perhaps staggering the school holidays across the country could help.
