Meet the ‘SAS' parents saving thousands on summer holidays by taking kids out of school early… and even risking JAIL
DROPPING her two daughters off at school, Wendy Nicholls* sensed an eerie quiet at the gates. Gone is the usual rabble of stressed parents dispatching their children, while the class WhatsApp group is conspicuously quiet. 5 5 At pick-up time, the youngest of her two daughters, aged five and eight, tells her that lessons have hardly any kids in them. No, this isn't a flashback to the dark days of Covid. This is what the final week of school looks like in 2025, when the term-time getaway trend sees a wave of parents pulling their children out of class for a cheaper holiday – costing a fraction of the price compared to during the six-week summer break. We have entered the era of SAS – Skiving And Saving – parenting, says mum Wendy, and office worker from Derby, as she tells The Sun why families are totally unfazed by term-time fines... AS someone who sticks to the rules, I've booked a week-long holiday in a five-bed ramshackle cottage with my husband Bobby, a truck driver, in Cornwall. Costing an eye-watering £2,000, I can't help feeling like a mug. My little ones' pals, meanwhile, are enjoying a week in Turkey – while school is on – for a fraction of the cost. A quick web search on popular holiday website First Choice reveals prices start at around £1568 per person for a seven night all inclusive holiday for a family of four in Turkey in the week before schools break up - and the lowest price you can get two weeks later for the same break is £2072. And while I'm looking forward to my English seaside trip, it rankles that my potentially soggy beach days will cost more than their sun-soaked, free bar-fuelled ones. A recent study found that parents have saved an average £567 by taking their kids out of school during term time. The same report by states that 16 per cent of families scored a term-time offer that was over £1,000 cheaper than travelling in peak summer. My daughter is never going to school because our eight family holidays per year are more important - parents who only take trips during the official breaks are 'utter muppets' But while bagging a hot holiday deal seems tempting, fines for unauthorised term-time absences in England and Scotland are now £80 per child – and per parent – if paid within 21 days, rising to £160 if paid within 28 days. Repeated fines can lead to a potential fine of up to £2,500, or even a jail sentence. But parents are clearly not put off by the fines, as in the 2023/24 academic year, 487,344 penalty notices were issued for unauthorised absences – a 22 per cent increase from 2022/23. I'm so angry about this whole system. It feels like a tax on people with constrained budgets. Carrie Ann Booth'SAS' mum One parent who is unfazed by the fines is Carrie Ann Booth, 43. The mum-of-one from Carlisle, Cumbria, who is married, says: 'We saved £1,500 by taking my daughter out of school and going on holiday during the last week of term. 'We're going on a two-week cruise around Europe, visiting Rome, Florence and Barcelona after saving up for two years. 'For us, it's about the history, the art, the culture and languages my daughter will soak up. 'She would certainly not get that in school during the last week of term, when it is lots of drawing and reflecting on the year.' Despite saving big, Carrie Ann, a former teacher and now the owner of an educational business, The Science Booth, says the fines are unfair. 'I've been fined £160 – £80 per parent – for taking my nine-year-old daughter on our holiday of a lifetime,' she says. 'I'm so angry about this whole system. It feels like a tax on people with constrained budgets. 'I tried to find a way to skip the fine, but the only exemptions included home educating my daughter. I seriously considered de-registering my daughter from school – just for a week – saying she'd be officially home-educated. But I worried she'd lose her place for the September term.' But Rachel Vecht, 51 , a former teacher from central London, who founded the parent support group Educating Matters, warns that prolonged gaps in school attendance have a major impact on learning. 'Missing school even sporadically can impact long-term learning, resulting in poor grades,' she explains. 'It can also impact children's self-esteem and mental wellbeing if they return to school and feel like they are far behind their peers academically.' 5 5 School attendance: the law In the UK, children are legally required to be in some form of education from the school term after their 5th birthday until the last Friday in June of the school year in which they turn 16. They must attend school or be otherwise educated – such as through home education – during that period. You can be prosecuted if you do not give your child an education. You will normally receive warnings – including fines – and offers of help from the local council first. Children can be absent from school if they are either too ill to attend, or have advance permission. Quality time Mum-of-one Paulomi Debnath, 45, from Romford, east London, downplays the negative impact taking kids out of school might have. 'I want to set a good example to my son, 14, about not breaking rules, but I also want him to experience different countries,' says Paulomi, an artist who owns the jewellery company Handmade By Tinni. 'I saved £1,200 on a family holiday to Kos, Greece two years ago, just by taking my son, then 12, out of school one week early. 'But I have not done this since, as I was threatened with legal action in the school's 'telling off' letter that accompanied our £120 fine. The note said I could be prosecuted if I took my son out of school again in the next three years.' As I drag my two little girls to school, the sense that I'm one of the few mugs taking their kids on holiday at the official time is confirmed by primary teacher Alice Abraham, 41. 'Classrooms are empty,' she tells me. 'There is hardly any point being there as the kids have clocked off mentally, ready for their summer holidays. 'Teachers are also stuck with expensive, out-of-term-time holidays.' Switched-on parents are embracing the challenge of getting cheap holidays. They are also wising up to the fact that councils across England have differing rules. Retail worker Louise Brown, 35, who has two sons aged 18 and 15, says: 'My 15-year-old's attendance throughout the year is over 95 per cent, so I never feel guilty about taking him out at the end of a school term for family holidays. 'Every year, I flout a school rule loophole that states we can never take our child out of school for longer than five days – after five days, the school would issue a fine. Four days away from school isn't the end of the world Louise Brown 'So I book a holiday right at the end of the school year, or close to half term, saving around £1000 on the cost of a two-week holiday – even though a week of our break overlaps with the school holidays when prices shoot up.' Louise, who is married to Brian, 48, who works in retail and lives in Leeds, West Yorkshire, also doesn't believe short absences have an impact on education. 'Families need quality time together,' she says. 'Four days away from school isn't the end of the world.' While I might feel like the only parent NOT taking my children on holiday during the last week of school, it looks like more parents may be forced to follow my lead in coming years. Family law solicitor Kaleel Anwar, of Slater Heelis, warns that missing the last week of the term doesn't make a large fine less likely. 'Families are going to have to accept that in the near future, they are not going to be able to get a cheap holiday during term time,' he says. He adds: "We've already seen a big clamp down form the government in terms of fines recently. "At the moment, families are still saving quite a considerable amount of money by paying the fines in comparison to the thousands they save on holidays. "I think we will see them clamp down even further with higher fines if the rate of school absences continues to stay high. 'And it is worth remembering you cannot generally 'fight' a fine for taking a holiday during term time in the same way you might challenge a parking ticket. 'You can attempt to have the notice withdrawn by contacting the school and providing evidence that supports your case, but if the fine is upheld and not paid, you could face prosecution.' With the threat of prosecution, plus the dirty look I'd get from the headteacher, I think I'll take an outrageously expensive staycation over a humiliating court appearance.

World's 50 best beaches named – here's how to find the two in the England that made the cut
THE top 50 beaches around the world have been revealed and two in England made the list. Big 7 Travel has ranked the top beaches from around the world whether that be tropical paradise, chilly poles, or even the south of England. 5 5 Porthcurno Beach in Cornwall came in 20th place when it comes to the most beautiful in the world. The beach earned its place for its "beautiful scenery" and "surfing prowess". It even has it's own microclimate - in fact, the beach is the second warmest in the UK outside the summer months. Earning it extra points is the stream that runs down to the beach which is "excellent for young children to paddle in". The beach is well-known in the UK with visitors often saying it looks like it belongs in the Caribbean or Australia. One beach-goer wrote on Tripadvisor: "When the sun comes out, you could be on any beach in the world. This beach is stunning. Pure white, soft sand." For anyone visiting, head to the car park at the bottom of Porthcurno Valley. If you're going by train, the closest station is in Penzance. From Penzance, you can take a bus or taxi to reach the beach. The bus journey takes around 30 minutes, while a taxi ride is around 20 minutes. UK beach named one of the top 100 in the world 5 The other beach in England that's been named one of the best in the world is Alum Chine which is on the south coast of England in Bournemouth. It's one of the most popular in the area and has a wide, shingle shoreline with shallow waters for splashing about. Big 7 Travel praised Alum Chine for its Blue Flag certification and that it's the perfect place to make the most of England's rare warm weather. It added that visitors can "partake in watersports, enjoy fish and chips and an ice cream on the sands, or walk along to Bournemouth Pier." One beachgoer went as far as to say it's the "best in Britain." The nearest train stations to Alum Chine are Branksome and Bournemouth. From Branksome station, it's about a mile walk to Alum Chine Beach. Bournemouth station is about 3.2 miles away, and you can take a bus from there. While these are the only two English beaches to have made the list, there were more around the UK that featured. 5 Luskentyre Beach in Scotland came in at number twelve. The beach on the Outer Hebrides has stunning sands and turquoise waters. Whitesands Beach was called "arguably the best beach in Wales", a popular but quiet beach due to its size. At the very top of the list was, unsurprisingly, a beach in Australia with blue waters and the whitest of sand. The dreamy beach is Whitehaven Beach on Whitsunday Island and is constantly ranked as one of the most beautiful in the world. The other top beaches include Anse Source d'Argent in the Seychelles and Ksamil Beach in Albania. And these are three UK beaches named the best in Europe by Tripadvisor this year. Whitehaven Beach – Australia Anse Source d'Argent – Seychelles Ksamil Beach – Albania Reethi Beach – Maldives Plage de Notre Dame – Porquerolles, France Starfish Beach – Vietnam Le Morne Beach – Mauritius White Sand Beach – Thailand Sandy Lane Beach – Barbados White Beach – Philippines Seven Mile Beach – Cayman Islands Luskentyre Beach – Scotland Playa Blanca – Lanzarote, Spain Temae Beach – French Polynesia Wakasa Wada Beach – Japan Chesterman Beach – Canada Kelingking Beach – Indonesia Keem Beach – Ireland Vivonne Bay Beach – Australia Porthcurno Beach – England Cala Macarella – Menorca, Spain Palombaggia Beach – Corsica, France Copacabana Beach – Brazil Reynisfjara Beach – Iceland Chac Mool Beach – Mexico Unawatuna Beach – Sri Lanka Shoal Bay East – Anguilla Whitesands Beach – Wales Ee Motu Beach – Cook Islands Grace Bay – Turks & Caicos Plakias Beach – Crete, Greece Phra Nang Cave Beach – Thailand Playa Grande – Costa Rica La Jolla Cove – California, USA Boulders Beach – South Africa Radhanagar Beach – India Klein Bonaire Beach – Bonaire Manly Beach – Australia Alum Chine – England Playa de Mónsul – Spain Delray Municipal Beach – Florida, USA Bavaro Beach – Dominican Republic Santa Monica Beach – Cape Verde Tsambika Beach – Rhodes, Greece Barceloneta Beach – Spain Waikiki Beach – Hawaii, USA Chumbe Island – Zanzibar, Tanzania Long Beach – Cambodia Las Cuevas Beach – Trinidad & Tobago Karon Beach – Thailand

Hotel review: Voco Hotel and Spa, Winchester
Voco? Nope, not in my dictionary either, but it's a name to pay attention to for a hotel stay that weighs in way above standard offerings, but won't leave your wallet needing a sabbatical (rooms from £107, Launched back in 2018, in just seven years the hotel chain's sleek but never stuffy charm has made it one of InterContinental Hotel's fastest growing brands, with over 100 Vocos globally, including 19 in the UK. At its less-than-a-year-old Winchester offering, two miles from the city centre, that stepped-up experience which, while not five-star certainly nails upscale, is very much in evidence. It also lives up to its name. Voco, since you ask, is Latin for 'inviting'… Rooms and facilities Check-in is swift, smooth and, as well as a room key, will furnish you with a locally inspired treat. When you cross Voco Winchester's threshold it's hard not to rubberneck the Open Lobby's lounge first. Vast, airy and, yep, inviting, this buzzy ground-floor area is the beating heart of the hotel, where the brand's ambition to seduce you really begins. Boasting break-out sofa and chair areas, all looking the part thanks to a mix and match of mid-century-modern furnishings and vibing happily together via greys, blues and pops of teal, the feel is kickback yet classy. The mood? While-away-the-hours-here-for-as-long-as-you-like, hell, why not pull up a chair and watch some TV? Or, scrub that, with an all-day dining menu available courtesy of the hotel's Kitchen 21 restaurant, stage left, and the 24-hour bar, stage right, order some eats and drinks… One floor up, my super-king boudoir has much to seduce, too. Greys, blues and the occasional piece of modern art feel considered and chic, while clean lines and fuss-free furnishings give an already decent-sized room something of the Wembley about it. The bed is sprung to perfection, the sofa plump and beckons you to spread while you enjoy the Nespresso machine and wide-screen TV. As for the chair and desk… others might want to WFH, but I'm thinking more vanity table. While no cats are in danger of being swung in the more functional than fabulous en suite, there's still plenty of luxuriating factor to be had down at the ANA adults-only spa. Here five treatment rooms offer all manner of pamperings using Elemis products, plus there is a Himalayan salt sauna, crystal steam room, sensory shower and bubbly foot spa. There's also a manicure bar and lounge where lunch – plates include butternut squash soup, crispy calamari, Caesar salad – I discovered, is best enjoyed after not before a body wrap or deep muscle massage (treatments from £45). Quick tip: before you wander down to the spa in your hotel robe, sessions need to be booked in advance (from £10 person for a two-hour slot). Food and drink At Kitchen 21, all metro tiles, copper pendants with an open-kitchen nailing slick, breakfast comes set – continental or full English, from £16.95 – or a la carte, such as scrambled eggs, £9. Park yourself on a velvet banquette or sit outside on the terrace and enjoy your flat white as a wild pony passes. Here lunch and dinner is 'a modern take on traditional British cuisine', or, in our book, crowd-pleasing stuff: from burgers, fish and chips and a showstopping 21-inch pizza to slow-cooked lamb shank, pork belly and pumpkin ravioli, with mains around the £18 mark. Whatever you pick, get a side order of truffle fries! The bar, meanwhile, just yonder in the Open Lobby, is all metro sexy beneath a cascade of plants and statement pendants, and never sleeps. It's open 24/7 – as is the nearby vending machine – your one-stop-shop for midnight snacks. Hotel highlights Forget 'inviting' in Latin, I want to know what 'relaxed' is – as Voco nails it on the kickback front. Then there's that lounge, where you can watch the world go by – or rather the guests (which during my stay included Jeff Brazier) from the comfort of a squishy sofa. Despite being just off a roundabout by the A31, the location is just the sort of peaceful spot you need after hauling your cookies through the streets of Winchester, checking out the cathedral, Jane Austen's house et al and its car park means no having to road-rage it into the city – it's five minutes away in an Uber or there's a bus stop right outside the hotel. What to do nearby Did I mention Winchester, once the ancient capital of England and seat of King Alfred the Great? Buying a property here might be hard – it's one of the UK's most expensive cities – but finding things to do in it isn't. Well-known for its 11th-century cathedral, it's also the resting place of former resident Jane Austen, boasts the country's oldest continuously running school Winchester College (which has appeared in films such as Harry Potter and Les Miserables), and thanks to its bustling shops, pubs and restaurants scene, fabulous architecture, riverside walks and prime spot on edge of the rolling South Downs National Park, it attracts around four million visitors a year.
