The evidence shows every extra day of school missed can affect a pupil's chances of achiev
ing good GCSEs, which has a lasting effect on their life chances."
a) The data doesn't show that at all (well the much trumped report last year didn't).
b) Education isn't just about GCSE results
c) My daughter is 6, in year 1, already ready for year 2 according to last weeks parents evening, how is a week off going to affect her GCSE's exactly?
Head teachers need to be able to give permission for term time holidays in cases where attendance and performance is good, the timing is sensible, and its not going to affect child/class.
