in kent we are running a new system so that when ever easter falls we will always have the 1st 2 complete weeks off in April. I beleive it was also done to help teachers with their planning for the terms and also that if we had our 2 weeks off in march it would make it long term before the whitson half term. one advantage of having the holidays like this is that you can get cheap holidays as the rest of the country will be on holiday around easter and the holiday companys are not aware of it, we are off to florida for those 2 weeks which we would not off been able to do around the real easter break.
