Thousands of angry parents have blasted plans for kids in some areas of the UK to be given an extra week's half-term holiday this autumn.
They are protesting that it is irresponsible with their youngsters having missed lots of schooling because of Covid and teachers' strikes, while they are also unhappy at the extra costs for looking after them during the holiday.
A petition has been launched to persuade Unity Schools Partnership (USP) to do a U-turn and drop the idea.
