Cheaper family holidays

Journalist: Connie Dimsdale, The i newspaper

Hi, I'm looking to speak with parents who have/would take their children out of school during term time for cheaper holidays during the cost of living crisis. 

We've noticed an increasing trend in line with the increasing cost of living. Parents seem to be taking the hit of the £60 fine to save hundreds of pounds on term-time family holidays. 

Please get in touch if you have done this or you plan to.

When it comes to planning family holidays, the temptation to take my 5-year-old daughter out of school during term time for more affordable options is undeniable. Let's face it, the prospect of a mere £60 fine and a gentle reprimand from school pales in comparison to the substantial savings that can be achieved. Moreover, being part of the tourism industry, I understand all too well that school holidays coincide with our peak operational period, making a strong case for exploring alternative timing.
