Children going back to school?

Please could someone tell me when the new school term starts? Thank you.

No we can't tell you!

No, I'm not actually trying to be awkward. It's simply that every local education authority in the country has a different pattern of holidays. Unless you tell us (roughly) where you live we can't help you.

If you want to check for yourself, Google the name of your local education authority (which, if you live outside London is your county council, metropolitan council or unitary council - Inside London it's the relevant borough) together with the words 'school term dates'.

Good idea, thanks Chris.

PS: If you do find the term dates for your local authority you need to remember that every school also has 5 staff training days which they can allocate throughout the year. So, for example, the new school term here in Suffolk starts on Monday 19th April. Most children around here will probably return to school on that date but some schools might have allocated a training day to that Monday, so that the children won't return until the Tuesday.

Thanks for the reply, which wasn't there when I posted again.

The School Website should give term start date including any training days
