Show Notes
Leicestershire and Leicester councils propose revolutionary school holiday changes from autumn 2027 to summer 2032, scrapping the iconic early July start. The new plan includes a two-week autumn half-term and a shorter five-week summer holiday, starting one week ahead of the national schedule. This tradition, dating back to 1965, aims to address uneven term lengths and learning gaps. A 2021 survey showed 69% support for the current dates, but councils favor the one-week-early summer option. Public consultation begins April 20th.
