Require all state nurseries, schools and colleges to have the same term dates.
We think academic calendars need to be standardised in England so all state nurseries, schools and colleges have the same term dates: start, finish and holidays in between.

Background
Some siblings in the same borough, have different half term holidays. Equally, parents who work in educational settings have different half terms to their children. Why do educational settings in England have different dates? We feel this can put a huge strain on working parents.
