Gah this was looking like really shaking things up, but the supreme court has ruled against the dad. It would be very disruptive I can see that but I think we ought to be able decide, if we've got otherwise 100% attendance and a genius child (as we do) then what's the point of these fines?
We're taking number one son out of school for a day, the last day of term. It's by our incompetence though, it doesn't save us any money as the whole holiday is in the school holiday so costing a fortune anyway. Now we probably have to factor another 60 fine on top, even though the other kids in school will be watching a film and having a picnic that day.
