IMO there's a difference between big truancy and a child being taken out of school during term time. Parents tend not to know about the former, but are the decision-makers in the latter.
We occasionally take our girls out of term time for a couple of extra days before or after the school holidays as often it makes massive difference to the cost of holidays, especially as we tend to select flights and accommodation that make the £££s go a lot further. The school doesn't condone it but also doesn't penalise it (in our County there's an unofficial limit of 5 days unauthorised absence per academic year).
The children have a very good attendance record and very good levels of achievement so a few days sway on holidays doesn't appear to be doing any harm.
