Parents consulted on starting hours

Starting hours for Primary 1 pupils in Glasgow could be changed by the city council at the request of working parents. Following consultation in 1997, it was agreed that the new intake of four- and five-year olds in Glasgow schools would attend for mornings only until after the October half-term holiday.

However, a spokesperson for Glasgow City Council said, 'Over the past few months we have received a number of calls from parents asking why we operate this system.

School staff and school boards have also been invited to comment.'
