County's July holiday fortnight could be scrapped

Available for over a year

Leicestershire County Council and Leicester City Council are considering a number of new options for school calendars from autumn 2027 to summer 2032. Both authorities say they preferred a plan that would see a two-week autumn half term break introduced as well as a shorter, five-week summer holiday. We got some reaction to the proposals, and then spoke to Tim Browne, the Interim Director of Education at Leicestershire County Council.
