Residents across Leicestershire are being reminded there is still time to have their say on preferred school term and holiday dates from autumn 2019.

A consultation closes at midnight on Monday, 2nd April.

The county council launched the consultation last month to capture the views of the public on three suggested options, which include aligning with patterns in Leicester’s schools.

The options are:

Retaining the current Leicestershire pattern which includes an early autumn half term break and an early spring half term break;
A term-time pattern based on Leicester City Council’s arrangements (from autumn 2019);
An alternative pattern, which includes a later autumn half-term break from 2019 and a later spring half-term break from 2020;

To ensure schools and parents have sufficient notice, the consultation on term-time patterns applies for 2019/20; 2020/21 and 2021/22.

To request a paper copy of the consultation, call 0116 305 6324 or email admissions@leics.gov.uk

The findings of the consultation will be reported back to Cabinet at a later date.
