Declaring an interest 'Mrs Gaz' is the deputy head teacher at a primary school, who still does have teaching responsibilities on top of the management tasks.

The summer term is a killer, they have just finished SATS & can now move on to writing reports, as well as the normal marking & planning.

Later is the summer camp - 24/7 responsibility for the children, before getting back to cope with the ones who have 'got' their secondary schools & are marking time before they finish at primary..

Given those circumstances, 6 weeks off can be very welcome, from what I've seen ??

However, if the school year could be planned more efficiently, I could see how shorter, more regular breaks might work - ???
