School holidays
When are the easter holidays? Are they the two weeks coming?

I have a month off so I am a bit lost as to which of these weeks are school holidays.

Thanks

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?

Re: School holidays
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.

Re: School holidays
When did it change to a 3.15pm finish to a school day?
School finished at 4pm when I went -it is the same as having half a day a week knocked off learning time.
