Not really, no

No, I missed like 4 weeks unauthorised and still got no fine.
Thanks my parents think they’ll be fined because my bro is isolating bc someone in our school got COVID but my school said I still have to go I didn’t go in this week and now my parents are urging me to go just in case they’ll be fined
