School holidays
- Thread starter blazey
- Start date
Schools generally have two weeks off for Easter don't they?
So they're off two days, then they go back for two weeks, then its end of term holidays for two weeks. Have I got that right?
Norden in Rishton is the same. I have been told it is because Easter is early this year and they have to have so many weeks in between each term, hence the end of term falls later this year. I don't remember having so many holidays when I was at school, but I guess we must have done!
Yep - that's right, think it's because Easter falls quite early this year.
Sounds about right, it's back to normal next year ;

Thats becuse they don't come under LCC, they're on their own so they can do what they want
After the kids have the two weeks in april they break up again and are off on the 2nd may....and 5th may!, another bank holiday!!..........we didnt have this many holidays when i was at school!
yep they are!! We are off on hol's on the 1st May, and I noticed they were off school for a couple of these days.
Majority of them are 3pm these days.
mine break up on the 4th April for two weeks and they finish school each day at 3.35pm
weird thing is they have tomorrow and monday off due to bank hols, go in tues, weds & thurs then fri is an inset day so they are off again then back in for a week before the easter hols...why not just have the inset day a week later on fri 4th and tag it on to the two week hols?????????

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.
I think you're right, Grego. I've been told that too. I was told that they have standardised the 2 week Easter hols so that they are at the same time every year.
Sometimes the Good Friday / Easter Sunday weekend will fall inside those two weeks. Sometimes, as has happened this year, it won't.
