Controversial influencer Sarah's Day slams her son's school after she was scolded for pulling the six-year-old out of classes for a family trip to Fiji
Sarah's Day has slammed her six-year-old son Fox's school after she pulled him out of classes for a family trip to Fiji.
The lifestyle YouTuber, 32, whose real name is Sarah Stevenson, is currently on a lavish getaway for her mother's 60th birthday.
But it seems things went awry on the first day of their holiday as the mother-of-three received an email from her son's school saying he 'wasn't approved' to go on leave.
Sarah shared the ordeal with her followers as she posted a posting a photo of her boys Fox and Malakai, three, watching a performance in Fiji.
'When Foxy's school emails you and says his "leave hasn't been approved" and it's important for him to be at school learning,' she wrote in the caption.

But Sarah's commentary on the matter didn't end there, as she later uploaded another series of videos calling out the school.
'A few weeks ago before we left for Fiji, I had to apply for leave [at the school] if you're going for more than three days, so I did that,' Sarah explained.
'I filled in this extended leave form. I talked to the receptionist and she said, "You just have to send us proof of your flights." So, I sent in proof of my flights.
'They responded via email saying "sweet we've got everything we need for this getaway." I said this is [Fox's] grandma's 60th trip. It's really important.
'He's only missing five days of school. Anyway, day one of the trip I get an email back. We're at the airport, and it says Fox's leave hasn't been approved.
'Yes, I want him to learn how to read and write and be in a classroom, but I haven't pulled him out of school for a month.
'Anyway, whatever. I responded and I was like, "Okay, well we're at the airport. Thanks I guess." Whatever. Love school.'
Sarah and her husband Kurt Tilse welcomed their third child together last year.

She shared photographs from her at-home labour on her Stories at the time, writing in the caption: 'And so it began.'
In the Polaroid pictures, Sarah could be seen cradling her baby bump as she sat on an exercise ball and drank a hot beverage.
Another picture showed her in labour at her home as she leaned on her couch while she was supported by a midwife.
A final black-and-white picture featured her two older sons smiling as she documented her third baby boy's arrival.
Sarah and Kurt named their third son Harlow Judah.

Is the end of the dreaded airport queue in sight? Not quite
Last week, British passengers arriving at Tenerife South Airport reported 'inhumane' conditions after queueing for more than two hours without access to water or loos. 'We couldn't move our arms, we could barely breathe, and people were sweating. Some parents lifted their children onto their shoulders to stop them from suffocating,' one passenger told local media. It's a frightening image, and one that has become more common at European airports since British air passengers became 'third-country nationals' after Brexit. This effectively gives us the same rights as arrivals from, say, Venezuela, banishing us to the often snail-paced 'All Passports' queue to get a stamp on arrival. When flying home we must also pass through border control to get a second exit stamp before proceeding to the gate. This can lead to scenarios where passengers are kettled at the gates with no access to refreshments if a flight is delayed, and no way to go back to the main terminal area. A new deal Change, it seems, is on the horizon. The Labour party has struck a deal with the EU to allow British passport holders to pass through e-gates, and the introduction of the Entry/Exit System (EES) in October will automate identity checks and remove the need for manual passport stamps. So will these images of British passengers snaking out of arrival halls at European airports soon be a thing of the past? Yes, but it may take a while. When it first rolls out, EES will require British (and all non-EU) travellers to provide fingerprints and facial images when entering or exiting the Schengen Area. This process has been much-delayed, not least because implementing it requires a continent-wide tech overhaul. And as we all know, airport IT systems, often operated by third-party firms and alongside multiple other systems, have a tendency to buckle at inopportune moments. If the new tech doesn't create hold-ups, the data capture process could. Pressing thumbs on sensors and having a photograph taken may sound like a simple process, but how many times have you seen somebody push their passport into the e-gate sensor the wrong way up? Such are the fears of hold-ups that airports are planning 'safety valve' procedures, where the requirement to capture everyone's data will be temporarily waived if a checkpoint gets too busy. On e-gates, I have found this new Labour/EU e-gates 'agreement' to be somewhat smoke and mirrors. The wording in the relevant document says that 'British passengers will be able to use more e-gates in Europe'. But this does not necessarily mean we will be able to use fast-track EU e-gates. Instead, it might be that we remain in the naughty ('All Passports') queue that happens to have an e-gate at the end of it. This will ultimately be up for individual countries and airports to decide. Additional hurdles Perhaps I'm being overly negative. Let's say that the EES roll-out isn't as clunky as feared, and that through some miracle the majority of European airports do kindly allow Britons to use their fast-track e-gates. Surely the airport queues will have simmered down by next summer? Maybe. But we will still face the additional border check when flying home, albeit with biometrics rather than a passport stamp. Even if e-gates are rolled out to British arrivals (as Faro Airport announced this week), we will still need to go to another booth afterwards to get our passports stamped by a human. And hold-ups like those seen in Tenerife are as much to do with poor scheduling as anything else. I checked the arrivals board on Tuesday June 2, and at 10.40am there were scheduled flights from Manchester (Jet2), Liverpool (Jet2), East Midlands (Tui) and Bournemouth (Ryanair). Ten minutes later, flights from Birmingham and Leeds (both Jet2) were scheduled to land, plus another from Paris. That's seven 180-or-so capacity flights touching onto tarmac, one after the other, in the space of ten minutes, at a single-runway, single-terminal airport. Even the sleekest, AI-powered biometric arrivals system would struggle to process all those passengers without the formation of a queue. There are some changes to the airport process that we can feel optimistic about. Soon, we'll be able to take greater quantities of liquids through security at all UK airports. A shake-up of UK flight paths promises to reduce air traffic delays before the end of the decade. And yes, all this new tech will eventually reduce friction at borders. But when you are stuck in a packed arrivals hall with a child on your shoulders and no access to water, you will be praying for progress now – not at some ambiguous point in the future.

Millions of UK tourists visiting Portugal can use e-gates this summer
Faro Airport in Portugal has started the rollout of e-gate access to British arrivals, the UK Government has announced. Downing Street expects British holidaymakers will be able to use the technology in their 'millions', after Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer struck an agreement with EU leaders last month. Cabinet Office minister Nick Thomas-Symonds, whose brief includes EU relations, said at the despatch box on Thursday that the deal 'makes life easier for holidaymakers'. The Prime Minister's official spokesman said: 'Yesterday, Portugal opened e-gates at Faro Airport to British citizens, which will mean millions more Brits going to the Algarve will be able to use e-gates in time for the summer holidays.' 'We're obviously continuing to work with other countries and other airports to ensure Brits can use more e-gates as soon as possible and that work continues. 'It's obviously good news to see a very significant airport, I think for British holidaymakers, opening e-gates to British citizens yesterday.' When he unveiled the deal last month, Sir Keir said that 'for holidaymakers wanting to get out this summer, they will want to know that they can do so easily and without delay and chaos'. The Prime Minister called on 'all EU members states to help make this a reality without delay'. Since Brexit, UK nationals have been unable to use e-gates in most Schengen area countries. Passengers from the UK face warnings that passport controls on arrival at Portugal 'may take up more time, as the passport will have to be stamped and there are additional questions that may be asked by the border control officers', according to the Faro Airport website. The Government has said the deal will smooth over 'legal barriers to e-gates use for UK nationals', once a new stamp-free biometric Entry/Exit System (EES) launches, due in October this year. Taking a question about steps 'to improve relations with the EU', Mr Thomas–Symonds told the Commons: 'The historic deal that we signed with the EU on May 19 is in our national interests – good for bills, borders and jobs. 'It slashes red tape and bureaucracy, boosts British exporters and makes life easier for holidaymakers. 'Indeed, I'm delighted to confirm this morning that Faro Airport in Portugal will start the rollout of e-gate access to UK arrivals this week.'
