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."
