Who we are consulting and why
We are consulting on our planned school term dates, to give an opportunity to raise any issues or provide comments before they are confirmed. As in previous years, we have discussed our proposed dates with neighbouring authorities to try and offer similar term dates, for the convenience of parents, carers and schools.
