Also what about if you are told by your employer that you have set holidays- which are not the same as school holidays. Do you take time off work, without pay to go on a family holiday (which adds even more to the cost), during the school holidays. Or do you take the children out of school when it is your offical week(s) holiday.
If that is your situation then you haven't much choice and if you explain your circumstances to the head, she'll understand.
