Early finish

My child's school will finish at 12.30 on the last day of term.

They gave us notice of this about a month ago. Some bus companies are able to collect the children early but some can't. The children that can't go home will be supervised in the hall until the end of the day. I am going to collect my child in my lunch hour as she doesn't want to stay in the hall as all her friends are going home.

This is the second time they have done this (they did it at Christmas).

Are they allowed to do this?

Ours always finishes at the start of lunch at Christmas, End Summer and also the day of the Open evening.
Loads of notice, and it is only 3 lessons 'lost' as they only have 1 lesson after lunch anyway.
They have put supervision in place for those who need it.
Non issue.

Ours always finish at 1pm at the end of the school year.
