We knew there was a chance of it coming so no big shock really, took kids away for a week in June during term time. Got letter yesterday from council wanting £50 for it. Now I dont mind paying as we saved a good few hundred by taking them in term time but still pisses me off. They say a week off can impact there results by one level but they felt fine not to make it in when it was snowing early this year when we managed to get the kids their in all conditions. Do we have any kind of appeal on these fines or is it not worth bothering? Anyone had the same?
