Kid are allowed 10 days out of school each year for holidays :icon_wink
Myth.
There is no such entitlement, though the school may authorise absences for "urgent" or "compassionate" reasons.

Holidays during term time
You should not normally take your child on holiday in term time as it can be disruptive both to your child's education and to the school.
Holidays in term time can only be agreed by the headteacher or someone with appropriate authority. Schools can use their discretion to grant up to 10 days’ authorised absence in a school year if:
and
- the parent the child normally lives with applies to the school in advance of the holiday
Schools can only agree to more than 10 school days’ absence in any school year in exceptional circumstances.
- there are special reasons for the holiday
Schools must judge each holiday request on a case by case basis. They can take into consideration:
- the time of year for the proposed trip
- if it's near any exam dates
- your child's overall attendance pattern
- any holidays already taken in the school year
- the age and stage of education of your child
- your wishes
- the ability of your child to catch up the work that they have missed
- the reason why you are taking the time off during term time
Schools should not take into consideration:
- availability of cheap holidays
- availability of desired accommodation
- poor weather experienced in school holiday periods
- overlap with the beginning or end of term

I'm kinda guessing Newts wants to go when the holidays are a bit cheaper, the accommodation he wants is available, the weather is better at his chosen period and his dates probably overlap with the term ending/beginning.The website you quoted says there have to be special reasons for the holiday. What's your special reason?

Melt's simply listed the 'special reasons' which schools are supposed to ignore as being legitimate for granting permission
Stupid anyway.
Kids learn far more on holiday (especially abroad) than they do in school.
