Kids school attendence records must be atrocious suprised the council don't get involved. Looks like fines for repeated offenders will be charged £160 if within 3 years of the last offence and thats per parent per child thats £320 per child for each one that gets fined (Hello Sue
) hope your taking notes, your going to need to get Nowweell to make some more pies in that magic pie shop of yours
However, 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.
This rate is in line with inflation and is the first increase since 2012.
In the case of repeated fines, if a parent receives a second fine for the same child within any three-year period, this will be charged at the higher rate of £160.
