The board has officially reversed their decision and restored our traditional holiday dates. Seeing our families remain together this Christmas means everything to me. We have proven that the partnership between parents and our schools is far too strong to be ignored.

The Lumen Christi Academy Board has taken the decision to change the school holiday dates for it's 6 schools and turn it's back on the recommended dates issued by Birmingham City Council which are followed by other schools in the City. This decision, which has been made by 6 board members, affects pupils, parents and staff.
There has been no consultation with the schools parents, school parent representatives, carers or staff.
We do not believe that the decision to alter our schools holidays is 'to focus on Advent....'. We believe families should not be split up over this important period of the Christian calendar; that families should not be financially compromised because of this decision and that this decision has been made without consideration to the difficulties which parents now face.
We believe that the Lumen Christi Academy Board of Directors must
reverse this decision. We believe that education is a shared
partnership, one which parents and carers play an equal part in with
schools.

The lack of transparency from the board continues to be the most frustrating part of this fight. I have been putting together a formal summary of how these changes hurt our wallets and our time together to present at their next meeting.

Seeing this level of support confirms that I am not the only one feeling ignored by the board. It is deeply moving to see so many families standing together to protect our time at home during the holidays.

I'm Signing because consultation with parents should have been a key determining factor behind this decision. Any decision which undermines the family must be considered contrary to the Catholic ethos.
I am signing this petition as this change will comprise time we spend together as a family this christmas and will cause childcare issues as my husband and I are back at work on the 3rd Jan. I am disappointed this decision was taken without consultation with the parents and would like the board to reconsider the decision.
How patronising claiming it will allow me to benefit from a cheap break. How many of us can afford a break 2 weeks after Christmas? How many of us will have children in other schools so it's not even an option?
No one considers the grandparents who end up picking up the pieces when these changes are forced on working parents.
Having two children in different schools with different sets of holidays is going to affect our family . Did the schools not feel like they needed to consult parents. My thoughts are that they knew the response they would get and decided to go ahead without parents input.

As a teacher employed by Birmingham city council, I will have to return to work while my children are still on their school holiday. Which results in me having no childcare.
