Holiday Pricing

Proceeding contribution from John Hemming (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 24 February 2014. It occurred during Backbench debate and e-petition debate on Holiday Pricing.

A number of participants in the debate think that head teachers are making the wrong decisions. If Ofsted is putting pressure on numbers, guidance would help us to analyse that in more depth. Prior to the changes, less than 10% of parents took advantage of the process in primary schools and less than 3% in secondary schools, so it did not affect many people. Those were clearly special circumstances, but for some reason they were deemed not to be acceptable. Guidance would give head teachers strength to argue with Ofsted.
