Default Mother faces fine for taking blind terminally ill son on last holiday

Curtis Ingrouille-Kidd, 13 is a quadriplegic child who has cerebral palsy but school bosses refused his mum's request to take a cruise during term time.

"The only relaxation he can get is swimming, so a cruise ship with a pool where he can also enjoy the sensory motion of a boat is ideal for him.

"I asked for a holiday request form from the school but was absolutely shocked and flabbergasted when the response was 'no'.

And the Department of Education added: "We have been clear that all headteachers are free to grant pupils leave in exceptional circumstances."
