Rejected petition School terms and holidays should be consistent across the whole of England

More details

That the Government should mandatorily set both school terms and holidays for all schools in England and Teacher training days should be within these. The system at the moment puts pressure on parents, teachers and industry to arrange childcare. Also taking holidays when some schools are on 3, 4 or 5 term year within the same authority is a nightmare.
