School holidays

[hedman2003]

My daughter has been off school today an inset day and has Fri and Monday, then they break up again on the 4th April for 2 weeks, I was under the impression that the April 2 weeks was now going to be the same every year regardless of Easter but I could be wrong.

yep thats spot on its to equalise the terms more, the earlier thread saying its back to normal next year isn't quite right it's because Easter is late next year and therefore is falls within the end of term holiday.

Schools are encouraged to tag INSET days onto holidays such as half terms

re school session times Rhyddings have been trialing the change in school day and does not impact on the "teaching " time as pupils now have a half hour lunch and there are 3 seperate sittings

the comment that the majority of schools finish at 3.00pm is a litle wide of the mark probably nearer 3.10 - 3.15

All three of ours are at three different schools, all finish at 3pm so thats a majority to me

Actually just checked and one of them has an official finishing time of 3.02 pm

I used to finish school at 4pm, didnt have 100 training days or inset days, but imo still had too many holidays. (miserable sod)

My daughter at Hassy high starts at 8:40 and finishes at 2:50. they get half hour dinner and 1 x 15 min break.

Blackburn schools broke up today for two weeks, they go back on April 7th

That's excellent news. Living in Darwen means that I'll get some peace and quiet when I'm off on my 2 week holiday starting on the 7th April. Working in Blackpool has its advantages sometimes.
