my son's primary school has announced that the schooll will be closed in October term time.This is because there have been new classrooms built and the staff need a week to get organised. it has overrun and was meant to be complteed for September.
It has been tagged on to the autimn half term so two weeks instead of one. Firstly I am upset that my son who has an IEP will miss awhole week of school. If you were to book a holiday you would be frowned on
Secondly we both work and it will cause massive inconvenience, my DH is Self employed and can take the week off with lost earnings
I do realise the school is not there for free childcare and I value my son'e edcuation greatly. but I plan our lives in maticulous detail booking childcare months in advance (because you have to )etc and something unexpected like this is just rubbish. thre are no holiday clubs open becuase it is not in the scheduled school hols. Are you just supposed to magic out of thin air.
