This is because we believe holiday should be for rest and fun and work stops this. You are only a child for so long and should be able to enjoy the holidays while you have them.

A minor needs time to rest and develop and we believe having holiday work can be deeply stressful, especially if you don’t even have public exams that year. However if you have public exams within a school year we think it is fair to set holiday work, as it can be important.
