Rejected petition Reform of school term-time (holiday)

More details

A change to school term-times so that the current 6 week summer holiday might be reduced to a 4 week holiday instead. Additional holiday dates might then be introduced within the school calendar making it less of an impact to working parents who cannot accommodate sufficient childcare for the 6 week summer holiday period.
