SCHOOL HOLIDAY CHOICE
CHOICE OF DATES FOR 2007-2008 ACADEMIC YEAR
From the WMDC Press and Communications Office
People
across the Wakefield district are being asked for their views on school
holiday dates for the 2007-2008 academic year.
There
are four options available they can be seen on the School Holiday
Dates pages in Related Links on the right hand side. Anyone without internet
access can view them on computers at any of the district's libraries.
Cllr
Wayne Jenkins, Cabinet member for Children and Young People, said:
"School staff, governors and unions are being consulted but we
especially want to hear from as many parents as possible about the
arrangements that would suit them best.
"Term
dates are not set in stone and it is the council's aim to meet the needs of
both pupils and parents as study and work patterns become more
flexible."
The
council is particularly keen to hear parents' views about continuing the two
week spring bank holiday break for primary schools but only one week for
secondaries, with primary schools breaking up a week later than secondaries
at the end of the summer term.
To
express a view you can reply online or pick up a response form from your
local school or library (please note that schools are closed from April 11
to 21 for the Easter holidays).

The
closing date for responses is Friday April 28.
