Leicester City Council is also carrying out a simultaneous consultation on future term time calendars,Poland added he was concerned the two authorities were proposing term times that were not exactly aligned.He said this could be a problem for families living near the city and county border with children who go to schools in both.Both the city and county councils have said they will work closely together to co-ordinate future term times where possible.The county council’s Reform UK cabinet member for children and families Charles Pugsley said he was pleased both options kept the July Fortnight. “It [the July fortnight] defines part of who we are as a county,” Pugsley said.”Generations of families have built their summers around the fact our schools on average break up a couple of weeks earlier than anywhere else.”It’s something people in Leicestershire evidently really value so whichever way the consultation goes the early summer break is safe.”A final decision on future school term dates is expected in September.
