THE outcome of a public consultation into changing the school holidays is due this month.
Barnsley Council outlined fresh proposals for changes to school term and holiday dates for the 2018/19 academic year following a U-turn last summer on ditching the traditional six week break in favour of having four weeks and four days in and an extra week in October.
It was abandoned amid criticism teachers had not been properly consulted.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
