Let's break up earlier for the summer holidays!
Allow UK schools to break up in June
Why is this important?
British schools break up long after the summer solstice. By August, the season feels positively autumnal and the hottest days have usually passed. Rather than teachers and pupils sweltering in hot classrooms (and children having to do homework during the'long' evenings), families could be holidaying in Britain at the peak of summer. This would boost our tourist industry. Our continental neighbours break up in June (as do American children); why haven't the term dates been reformed (something the government has been talking about since the 1990s)? Our children deserve better!
