holidays during term time

denny

Hi, I dont know if anybody can help me but with summer holidays being planned,I could do with some advice.

Our son is 11yrs and has aspergers and like alot of children like him he finds crowds a real problem, he doesn't relax and sticks like a limpet to me so we always take our holiday during term time, where itis alot less crowded and he and us don't get stressed out, and we can enjoy family time and our son gains life skills. The problem we have is with the new laws brought in regarding taking children out of school for holidays. Would we be able to cite the disability act or childrens rights to avoid being fined, itis another battle just to try to be a normal family.

hope someone can help

  • Hi - I have a similar dilemma, my son aged 14 has aspergers and anxiety and to minimise stresses we have always taken our holidays in termtime. His school currently dont fine, but my younger daughters school say they will fine. Anyone help with where I stand if I say I am taking her out of school in term time because of her brothers challenges?
