Calls for clarity on school summer holiday dates

Parents of school pupils are still waiting to hear when their children will break up for the summer holidays, amid ongoing discussions about possible changes to the academic calendar.

The Government has previously said it is seeking to end summer hours in schools, a move which would see term times shortened.

The current end of term date is set for the 10th of July but there is still a question mark over whether this will be brought forward.

In a statement, then GSD says any amendments will have an impact on families and their day-to-day organisation, and call on the Government to keep parents informed.

Shadow Minister Damon Bossino, says students and their parents should be given 'ample time' to prepare for any changes.

The Government has been holding discussions with the teacher's union, but no final decision has yet been announced.

Katy Docker asked people in town and outside the Comprehensive schools how they felt about the potential change.
