29. Public Participation
It was reported that there had been no registrations to speak at the meeting under the Council’s Public Participation Scheme.
30. Term dates for the school year 2022-2023
The Executive Member considered a report which sought approval for the term dates of those schools for which City of York Council (CYC) was an employer, for the school year beginning in September 2022.
The draft dates, detailed in Annex A to the report, had been set in accordance with the guiding principles discussed in the Yorkshire & Humber Admissions Group. These ensured that dates were harmonised as far as possible across the region, in order to minimise problems for parents/carers who worked in, or had children at school in, neighbouring authorities. Historically, schools in York with responsibility to set their own term dates had also followed the dates set by CYC. All York schools had been consulted on the draft dates; none had formally responded.
The Executive Member welcomed the ongoing work with other authorities to align term dates and
Resolved: That the draft term dates for the 2022-2023 school year set out in Annex A to the report be approved
Reason: To meet the requirements of Section 32 of the Education Act 2002 and other related legislation.
