Further consultation had taken place, with over 3250 responses from a broad range of people including, school staff, parents and businesses. The majority, including school staff, were in support of a two-week half term break.

If was noted that the first day of the school year would be Friday 1 September 2023 and it was hoped that schools would taken this as a development day, returning to school on Monday 4 September 2023.
