Notes & New Programmes
Programmes on Radio 5 ran from Monday 22nd April to Friday 12th July 1991, with no broadcasts on Monday 6th May or in the entire weeks beginning 20th and 27th May. Schools radio programmes moved from Radio 4 FM to the new Radio 5 in autumn 1990, so this was the first summer term on the new network. Radio 5 was largely aimed at children, and so schools radio took a two-week holiday during the half term weeks while children were likely to be at home listening, and also the schools schedule was unexpectedly[1] extended at the end of term to run right up to the start of the summer holidays. This meant there were 10 episodes of most series this term, up from 8 episodes which had been the standard length of the summer term for several years. Some programmes, notably the primary music series, filled in this extra time by running "summer extra" programmes, unrelated to the main units of the term.
Programmes on Radio Ulster began at the same time but finished by Wednesday 5th June. Programmes on Radio Scotland began at the same time but I believe they ended on Friday 28th June[1]. Programmes on Radio Cymru probably ran a week behind the rest of the country, as they traditionally did because their schedule was so different from England's, but I can't prove this. The extra Night School language programmes on Radio 3 ran for only 3 weeks as shown above - the weeks originally planned to be the final 3 of the term.
All of the programmes broadcast on Radio 5 were repeated later the same night on Radio 3 FM, apart from in Scotland where the programmes were already being broadcast in FM on Radio Scotland during the daytime. However a revised repeat (I don't know how it was revised) of In the News was broadcast on Radio 5 at 8:05pm (later 8:00pm) on Thursday evenings, instead of an overnight repeat on Radio 3.
When the Listening and Reading series began in 1971 it had three components - Listing and Reading I in the autumn, Listing and Reading II in the spring and Listing and Reading III in the summer. The I and II series were very successfuly but the III series lasted for only a few years before disappearing from the schedule. In 1986 the BBC introduced a new reading series on schools radio, Reading Corner, and in 1991 - this term in fact - Reading Corner was renamed Listening and Reading III. So the series was new this term, but it was the resurrection of a series, or at least a title, which had existed 20 years earlier.
Also new this term were Curriculum Resources and Geography Resources 14+.
The Night School series Working in Spanish 2 went out this term, even though Working in Spanish 1 had still not been broadcast. It had been postponed from summer 1990, but there were plans to release it on cassette[2].

Notes & New Programmes
Programmes from Monday 22nd April to Friday 21st June 1991. There were no programmes on Monday 6th May, or in the week beginning 27th May.
After the half term break as several series came to an end they were replaced by occasional episodes of other programmes and the schedules were rearranged a little, so History File went out at 9:20am on Monday 17th June for example. There were occasional episodes (not reflected in the grid above) of British Social History, English Time, Help Your Child with Maths, Help Your Child with Reading, History File, Job Bank, Landmarks Special Reports, Lifeschool, The More Effective School, Rockschool, Standard Grade Art & Design, Standard Grade History, The State of Training, Teaching Today, Through the Looking Glass, Tutorial Topics, Women Mean Business, Words and Pictures, and even episodes of Ulster in Focus broadcast nationwide.
The termly timetable sent to schools before the start of term claimed that Landmarks Special Reports would be repeated on Tuesdays at 1:35pm, but these plans seem to have changed before transmission. There were some repeats of the Landmarks programmes at odd places in the schedule, but the Tuesday afternoon slot was used for a preview of the Japanese: Language and People series to be transmitted in the autumn term, and episodes of Rockschool.
The only brand new series this term was the geography series West Africa. Supersense, a BBC natural history series first shown to adult audiences in 1988-89, was broadcast to schools for the first time this term.
All episodes of the series Job Bank, Landmarks Special Reports (based on the spring term Landmarks unit Earthwatch) and Ulster in Focus were new, and there were also new episodes of Landmarks, Lifeschool, Scene, Zig Zag, and a new episode of Teaching Today on Using Radio in the Classroom on 9th May.

S4C
Programmes included Gweld a Siarad and Mistar Mwsog, produced by the BBC. I don't know the details of programmes produced by HTV this term, or when programmes were shown.
Other Regions
Science and Society, produced by Scottish Television, was shown on Thursdays at 11:19am in Scotland, replacing the repeats of Story World and Stop Look Listen[3]. I don't know the details of other variations in Scotland or Northern Ireland this term.
Notes & New Programmes
Programmes began on Monday 22nd April. There were no broadcasts during half term week, the week beginning 27th May. There were also no programmes on Monday 6th May, the May Day Bank Holiday, but the Monday programmes were postponed by a week so for the rest of term most Monday programmes were actually repeats of programmes broadcast from Tuesday to Friday in the previous week. The final day of broadcasts was Monday 24th June 1991.
Science and Society was a new series this term, made by Scottish Television, and there was also a new, second series of Story World, made by Granada Television.

- ↑ 1.0 1.1 Although the extension of the school radio schedule from 8 to 10 weeks was planned in advance and listed in the termly wallchart, it was not planned at the start of the academic year, as the annual programme catalogues all billed the term dates as being "Mon 22 Apr-Fri 28 Jun" (BBC (1990a) p.43). The summer term teacher's notes to Poetry Corner explained that "with our move to Radio 5, we are now able to extend the summer term by a further two weeks to nine programmes" (page 2) - this series was broadcast on Mondays so there were only 9 episodes as there were no broadcasts on Monday 6th May, a Bank Holiday.
This is also the reason I am unsure about the end date on Radio Scotland - their annual programme catalogue gave the term dates as "Monday 22 April - Friday 28 June" (BBC (1990c) inner cover) and I have no access to listings that show whether this was ever changed. Scottish school holidays tend to be from late June to mid August, rather than mid July to late August as is the case in England, and anyway the motivation for Radio 5 extending the term - that children would still have been at school until the holidays began - would not apply to Scotland as the schools programmes on Radio Scotland would have been replaced during the summer with general audience programmes, rather than childen's programmes. - ↑ The BBC wallchart timetable for summer 1991 ages eleven to nineteen, noted "Working in Spanish 1, postponed from last year, will be available on cassette. Please contact BBC Education Information for details."
- ↑ The Scottish transmission times for Science and Society were given with a review of the series in the Times Educational Supplement, 24th May 1991 p.31.
