I cannot believe that this hasn't been thought of before. I personally feel that school Summer holidays are to long anyway.

When l was at school, yes 40 years ago, we had five weeks, and my parents felt this far too long.

And you get half term as well, teachers say that they need there breaks as well.

I know several teachers, that actually go into school during the holidays, to do work - they volunteer, they are not forced to by the Head teacher.

I think that One Month for the Summer holidays, is Ok. Don't forget, after a few weeks, the kids get bored.

Know l agree totally, One month for Summer, and add it during the year
