Engage with all opportunities

Education Secretary Michael Gove has planned to change the school day. If his proposal was accepted we would have to go to school from 7.30am to 5.30pm.
Also he wants to shorten summer holidays, half terms and possibly go to school on Saturday.  
Would this really help? 


Luckily his proposal was turned down, and we think that is best because we wouldn't have enough opportunities as we would be at school most of the time.
