DC twins have very good attendance records and they've never taken off time for holidays before but we have a special family trip planned for October half term and the only way we could get the flights to work was to go on the friday before half term.
There were only a few seats left so booked during summer hols. Put the absence request in first day back.
(Its actually not for full day - they would go in for first two lessons and then leave after first break. DC1 normally leaves at 1 on a friday anyway. DC2 has lessons till 3)
Anyway had a letter today to say no exceptions to rule in year 10 so not authorised.
Problem is that I dont actually know what this means (Ive led a sheltered 10 years !!! - theyve usually just turned up on the days they were meant to...)
So does it mean cancel the flights you cant go, a fine, prison, go ahead but we dont like it ???
Thanks
