Easter school term hols?

[jaytee368]

Can any of you folk inform a remotely located expat when these fall?
Need to travel back to blighty soon and I choose NOT to do it when the airports and skies are full of school-run mums etc.

Mine break up on Wednesday 23rd March and go back on Monday 10th April.

[nervous]

school holidays move 1 week in advance in different regions, but for the most part the schools close at end of the day thurs for two weeks.

kids... they get more holiday than santa.

Thanks WG,
Guess that means I got loads of time to book flight and hotel then.

Oh BTW WG, don't send 'em back on the 10th in case Social Services do you for desertion, cos it's a SUNDAY!!!
But thanks again anyway.

Another holiday?

Apologies for the thread hijack, but it is pertinent!!

Does anybody else understand the phenomenon we seem to get on a regular basis where the kids get a two week holiday (and the staff get time off too), only to be told that they don't go back until the Tuesday

"As it has been designated a teacher training day."

Why the f*** don't they have them during the 13 weeks of holidays they actually get, instead of giving the kids extra days.

Before the bullets fly, I am aware that teachers do partake of some work during the holidays

All fecked up this year. I break up tomorrow and go back 13th April, but my friends at another school have Good Friday and Easter Monday off, but then have another 3 weeks of school before a 3 week holiday.

Clear as mud, eh?
