Parents do not have a legal right to take children out of school on holiday.

Holidays during Term Time.

The government's own website says "You should not expect the school to agree to an absence for a holiday in term time. Taking a holiday during term time means that children miss important school time – both educationally and for other school activities. It will be difficult for them to catch up on work later on."
