Engaging in Debate
Students in Mrs Bracher's Tutor Group have been discussing the issue of school holidays and considering various options for the future. They each wrote letters to me putting forward their ideas and suggestions to improve the spread of holidays throughout the year. I was then able go into tutor time to explain why the inset days and holidays are placed on the calendar. Students began to appreciate that if I moved a week of the summer holiday to Christmas that this would impact on other schools and families and make life more difficult for parents and childcare. Thank you Year 8 for presenting your ideas so well and for inviting me to debate them.
