FEEDBACK

Title

The Six Term Year

Summary of contents

The LEA has discussed the proposals of the Independent Commission on the pattern of the school year with other LEAs in the eastern region. All agreed that the proposals merited consideration provided change was undertaken on a regional basis.

Each LEA is now undertaking consultations in its area to determine the level of support for change.

We would therefore be grateful to receive your school's view on whether the suggested changes should be implemented by Norfolk County Council.

Attached is a letter, a summary of the proposals and a questionnaire.

Information relating to the six term year proposals can also be found on our public website www.esinet.norfolk.gov.uk/sixtermyear

The public site provides the opportunity for parents and staff to comment on the proposals.
