A MUM-OF-THREE was left fuming after being fined an eye-watering £320 for taking her children on a fun winter holiday to Lapland.
Mum Danielle, who jetted off to the tourist hotspot earlier this month, dubbed the hefty fine ”absolutely ridiculous”.
Danielle, who has three kids, was fined a whopping £320 for taking her family to Lapland during term timeTikTok / @daniellemsands23According to the mum, she had provided the school with a long list of ‘educational’ activities they got up to in FinlandTikTok / @daniellemsands23
Taking kids out of school for holidays is frowned upon as it can disrupt their education.
Last year, Labour’s Bridget Phillipson slammed “disrespectful” parents who do so.
As of August 2024, the fine for school absences across the country rose from £60 to £80 if paid within 21 days.
If parents fail to pay a fine issued within 21 days, they will have to pay double – £160, to be precise, up from the previous £120.
The Department for Education said this rate tallies with inflation, and is the first time the amount has gone up since 2012.
Parents can only accrue two fines within a three-year period – however, once this limit has been reached, additional actions such as parenting order, or prosecution will be implemented.
However, this hasn’t stopped some families from going abroad during term time, especially as they can often find cheaper holiday deals when it’s off-season.
Raging about the fine, Danielle said her family were in Lapland, Finland, for a week and she viewed the time-off as an ”educational trip”.
”I actually wrote a letter of every single thing that we were gonna be doing in Lapland and how education this trip was gonna be,” she was fuming in the video.
”We weren’t sitting on a beach or random pool laying down for seven days – we actually had activities that we were doing every single day.
”It’s stuff that my children were never ever gonna gain by sitting in a classroom.”
Some of the things she had noted down in the list included ”seeing and learning all about the Northern lights” along with a special ”tool book” that explained the phenomenon and visiting ”a husky safari” where they’d be ”learning about the history of dog sledding”.
She went on in the video: ”Reindeer tour – learning about the culture of reindeer and reindeer herding, getting to meet and feed the reindeer and experience a reindeer sleigh ride.
”Snowmobiles – learning about different means of travel in Finland, learning how to drive a snowmobile and we got to drive over a frozen lake and to experience the wilderness of the Finnish Lapland.
”We also crossed the Arctic Circle and there’s basically so much more.
”We got to meet the real Father Christmas, of course, we got to experience skiing,” she listed the fun activities the family got up to.
In the video, Danielle said she was ”gutted” the school couldn’t see the seven-day holiday ”as an education trip”.
How do the fines work?
According to the GOV website, it’s the responsibility of the local authority to decide when to issue fines to parents, meaning the process varies from council to council.
The Gov website states: “Under the new national framework, all schools will be required to consider a fine when a child has missed 10 or more sessions (5 days) for unauthorised reasons.
“From August 2024, the fine for school absences across the country will be £80 if paid within 21 days, or £160 if paid within 28 days.
“Fines are a last resort, and parents will be offered support to help improve their child’s attendance first. The vast majority of fines for unauthorised absence (89%) are issued for term time holidays.”
Fines per parent will be capped to two fines within any three-year period.
If that limit is reached, prosecution will be considered. If you’re prosecuted and attend court because your child hasn’t been attending school, you could get a fine of up to £2,500.
Slamming the system, the mother-of-three shared her confusion about her daughter’s Year 6 upcoming ”residential trip” that’s booked in the UK.
”They’re going for three, four nights – and that’s acceptable?”
Although Danielle was fuming, she didn’t blame the school – and instead, was furious at ”the government, the corruption, the council”.
In her eyes, schools should finally stand with the parents and mark the educational trips as ”authorised absence”.
According to the mum, who said they’d ”play the game” from now on, explained the same holiday would set the family back a whopping £6,000 to £7,000.
”But if I take them out during September when there’s a couple of inset days, it’s like £1,000 cheaper.
”I understand why they have things set in place – but we should be allowed to have at least one holiday with our children a year,” said Danielle, adding her partner works long hours and ”doesn’t get to see his children”.
”Nine times out of then, he’s home when the children are in bed. On the weekends sometimes he does private work or we’re busy catching up on things we can’t do during the week.”
‘It’s all about the money’
Hundreds of social media users flooded to the comments – where a fierce debate took place.
Whilst many agreed with Danielle and her frustration, others thought the implemented fine was essential for education.
One said: ”Could you imagine all 30 children in a class taking 1-2 weeks off school during term time? You could have a child missing every week of the year.”
Someone else chimed in: ”I think schools should now double the fines, it’s quite clear the current levels are not being respected by middle class parents.”
A third wrote: ”As a teacher I’m totally against these fines. The only thing I would say is that the teacher shouldn’t be expected to have to repeat anything that the kid has missed, exams or anything.”
”It’s all about the money. They don’t care about the kids,” is how another person felt.

A FORMER beauty queen has been arrested after the plane she was on landed in a field and cops made a shocking discovery.
21-year-old beauty queen Jade Isabela Callau Barriga was reported on board a private aircraft with Brazilian national Carlos Costa Diaz, 52 when they were forced to make an emergency landing.

NewsflashPolice made a shocking discovery after searching the aircraft[/caption]
NewsflashCops found plane 359 kilograms of cocaine in the plane that landed in Entre Rios, Argentina[/caption]
The aircraft landed in a field in Islas de Ibicuy in Entre Rios, Argentina.
The shock incident saw locals call the police which led to the shocking discovery of over 350kg of pure cocaine.
After searching the Cessna 210 aircraft, authorities found 359kg of cocaine split into 10 separate packages.
The seizure has been valued at a whopping €14 million or £11.7 million.
Nestor Roncaglia, Security Minister of the Entre Rios province, said: “During the early hours of last Thursday morning, the Entre Ríos police were informed about the landing of a plane in a field in the department of Islas del Ibicuy.
“A couple were travelling in the plane, who fled and were later arrested. They were a man from Brazil and a woman from Bolivia.
“In view of this event, the federal judge on duty, Dr. Analía Ramponi, was informed.”
It has been claimed that Barriga was onboard the aircraft as a trusted member of a criminal gang linked to her family to stop the haul from being stolen.
An unnamed source close to the investigation told local media: “Sometimes they send a trusted person with the cargo because they do not know or trust the pilot.”
Two crew members who were also onboard the aircraft reportedly attempted to evade arrest by telling the authorities two versions of events to explain the sudden landing.
One said that the beauty queen was pregnant and so they unexpectedly landed while the other claimed they had rand out of fuel.
Neither excuses were accepted by police though Roncaglia confirmed the aircraft had run out of fuel.
The minister said the plane and its contents had come from Bolivia and that it “had an Argentine licence plate.”
“There was no damage, but it ran out of fuel,” the minister said.
He added: “Everything indicates that the plane came from Bolivia and would have travelled some 1,500 kilometres.
“The final destination was not Entre Rios, as the forced landing was down to a lack of fuel.”
Diaz and Barriga were taken into police custody with boosted security.
Local law enforcement was reportedly concerned that due to their criminal affiliations and a gang suspected of behind behind the shipment, there may be attempts to free them from prison.
Barriga won a beauty contest in San Borja in northern Bolivia in 2019 and now regularly posts salacious pictures on social media and has made numerous television appearences.
San Borja is allegedly where Jorge Adalid Granier Ruiza, kingpin of secret flights and a drug lord captured in Brazil comes from.
Bolivia is one of the highest cultivators of coca plants where cocaine comes from.

HE’S got some of the largest numbers of young fans on the BBC – but that doesn’t mean that Lord Sugar agrees with a ‘woke’ work ethic.
The business mogul, 78, also slammed one growing work habit and called the modern practice the “kiss of death”.
PALord Sugar has revealed one sure fire way to get fired from working with him[/caption]
BBCHe will be joined by 18 new candidates in the boardroom this week[/caption]
He told The Sun: “People come to interviews and the first thing they ask is, ‘How long can I work from home and are my times flexible?’ – they don’t ask about the job at all.
“To me, that’s like the kiss of death, and they don’t get very far past the next question.”
Lord Sugar, who will once again be joined by Tim Campbell and Karren Brady in The Apprentice’s new series, which begins tomorrow night, added it’s all about ‘work ethic’.
He said: “Work ethic has changed in my lifetime and in my opinion it’s getting too relaxed.
“There are companies that have beds there and are allowing people to turn up at 11 in the morning so they can detox from boozing the night before by going and laying in a pod somewhere, to pop out at 3 in the afternoon after having their two minutes of genius.
“Hard graft is gone – and anyone working for me who wants a two-hour lunch break to go to the gym, I’m afraid to say they would have to stay on the treadmill all day because it’s not my culture.”
It’s all part of Lord Sugar’s commitment to hard work – which means he is still keen to shy away from the celebrity aspect of his role, like appearing on other reality shows.
He added: “I’ve been asked to participate in other shows and I respectfully decline.
“I enjoy doing The Apprentice, but there’s a limitation to how much I want to be seen on screen.
“I get approached by production companies who come up with new ideas and new formats, but I say, ‘Not me, go somewhere else’.
“There are some people that will go to the opening of an envelope – but I haven’t got any other shows and I tend to turn down invitations to everything, including chat shows and things like that.”
Nonetheless, he’s not worried about being replaced on the BBC One series anytime soon, or with a new replacement show, ahead of the airing of a 20th anniversary series next year.
Lord Sugar explained: “You’ve got to understand that I am part of the show.
“I’ve done everything, all these tasks these people are asked to do… I’ve loaded lorries, I’ve packed parcels, I’ve travelled all over the world.
“I don’t ask any of these people to do anything that I can’t do myself, and that’s why it all rolls off my tongue when I’m in the boardroom.
“I’m interacting with the people and I think that’s very authentic, and even if I say so myself, it is very authentic.
“Unfortunately, any of the imitations, often copied and often failed, are, with all due respect, pretty pathetic.”
