A council has become the first in England to cut the school summer holidays to under five weeks.
Barnsley Council in South Yorkshire has announced the term dates for the academic year 2017-18 with a shortened summer break.
There will be a longer school holiday at October half-term.

Tbh the October one should be axed but hopefully this will see a trend for more learning and less pointless holidays

More learning? For about a month and a half before the holidays teachers have no idea what to do with pupils and most of school is spent watching movies ect. It'd be easier if they went on holiday sooner.
