Summer Holidays - How Long Do You Get?

@sheepy Said

I was chatting to a headteacher last night Laura, and he said there are moves to move to different spaced terms. This would be one way they could get back at the greedy scumbag holiday companies who ramp up prices the nanosecond the schools break up.

I'm not sure 100% what he meant, he was a bit rushed as it was an incoming parents meeting for the new term in September, and I was in a rush because there was no aircon and I was melting. I think he was meaning the terms would be more spaced out, so less weeks in summer, and maybe a week in say September. It sounded though like he thought different local authorities may select their own weeks (Which is the bit which would confuse holiday companies), but I guess in practice, there can't be that much of a difference - I mean, no-one is going to want to have a 6 week break in February, apart from a certain ski-mad teacher I used to have. Also some times are set in stone - everyone wants a week or two at Easter and Spring Bank.
Oh well
