School Calendar Proposal for 2016 onwards
Thank you to everyone who responded to our survey on the proposal to adopt a single model for school term and holiday dates for 2016/17 in the light of legislation that aims to give more freedoms to schools (the Deregulation Bill).
The Eastern Region Model emerged as the preferred calendar of 55.42% who expressed a view. (7.23% expressed a preference for Model B, 32.53% for Model C, and 4.82% prefer to determine and consult on their own calendar).
On this basis we are now proceeding to a full public consultation on proposals to adopt the Eastern Region Model in Norfolk, for all those schools wishing to follow an agreed model. Other schools wishing to set their own calendar will need to carry out their own consultation exercise.
The consultation survey can be accessed on the website at norfolk.citizenspace.com/childrens-services/school-term-datesResponses should be made by 31st March 2015.
