Nope, they won't...
quote from the Sunday Times interviewing Nicky Morgan:
Morgan rejected growing calls to ditch rules to punish parents who take their children out of class during term time, declaring that the policy "sends a firm signal". "For every day or half-day that a child misses [school], it does affect their education. From the prime minister downwards, we have made it clear that being in school during term time is the best place for children to be. I'm really clear that will continue."
And so they shouldn't! School is school, there are plenty of weeks for a holiday.
If people just need to save more money or if they can only afford once every 2/3 years then so be it.
Its not about money for us. What about people with partners who are not home during holidays? In our case we can not travel during peak times
