Milestones

We believe that parents should have the ability to take their children out of school for 10 days per year without a fine or a criminal conviction.

We also believe that children need breaks sometimes due to stress, anxiety and much more as school can be a tough time for them. Another reason towards this is that families want to go on holiday during term time because of cheaper tickets.
