"Am I wrong to take my kids out of school for a cheaper holiday?"

from Money Confidential with Katie Morley

Is taking children out of school during term time financially savvy or just selfish parenting? In today's episode, Katie chats to "Louise" who is one of 350,000 parents taking their children out of school during term time every year in order to nab a cheaper holiday. With travel companies dialling up the prices of flights, accommodation and more during the holidays, some parents are choosing the £60 a day fine in order to save bigger money on the break. Joining Katie to unpack this dilemma is travel expert Jen Carr-Paias AKA The Travel Mum on instagram, Britain's strictest headteacher Katherine Birbalsingh and the Telegraph's own common sense queen, Camilla Tominey. ✍️ Need your awkward money problem solved?
