yep thats spot on its to equalise the terms more, the earlier thread saying its back to normal next year isn't quite right it's because Easter is late next year and therefore is falls within the end of term holiday.
Schools are encouraged to tag INSET days onto holidays such as half terms
re school session times Rhyddings have been trialing the change in school day and does not impact on the "teaching " time as pupils now have a half hour lunch and there are 3 seperate sittings
the comment that the majority of schools finish at 3.00pm is a litle wide of the mark probably nearer 3.10 - 3.15
