HC Deb 05 June 1930 vol 239 c2369
52. Mr. EDE

asked the President of the Board of Education how many local education authorities divide their school years in elementary schools into three terms, four terms, and a higher number than four, respectively?

Sir C. TREVELYAN

I regret that I have not sufficient information to enable me to give the numbers for which my hon. Friend asks. It is, however, the general practice of local education authorities, with very few exceptions, to divide the school year into either three or four terms.
