Outcome of consultation on implementing a two week October half term:

The consultation responses showed that a significant majority of all stakeholders support this initiative and of course statutorially and as a Trust we can set our own term dates. The results of the consultation can be found in the Trust Documents section of our website at www.sfaet.co.uk. This approach has also been shared with our recognised Trade Unions who appreciate this response from the Trust to staff and parent/carer feedback. 

This will mean that the first day of the October half term holiday will be on Monday, 21st October and schools will reopen on Monday, 4th November.  It is important to stress once again that this initiative evolved from earlier communications with stakeholders, who were of the view that this would be an effective and appreciated element of the Trust’s approach to the wellbeing of staff and students with clear benefits to all.
