If you are planning on going on holiday and have children you may be surprised actually how much more you have to pay to go in the school holidays. Prices can literally jump up to well over an additional £1000 for a family of four compared to prices in term time.
For this reason, many parents are choosing to risk being fined and taking their child out of school during term time to save money. Even if they do get fined often the fine is a lot less than the additional amount the holiday would be.
It is not ideal to take your children out of school for a holiday but if you feel that you want to you should check what is going on at school during that period that they may miss. If for example, they have exams or a school trip then you may decide to delay the trip until this has been done.
There are some beautiful countries that offer a fantastic family holiday all year round. If you are not too bothered about the weather then the world is your oyster. If you want to go somewhere that is hot during the UK winter months then you may need to opt for somewhere in the Caribbean.
