    I find it right strange that some kids have and some kids haven’t, i swear when i was a kid it was all the same time but my kids are off now and some friends kids aren’t off for another week….. i have already been dragged to a bloody lodge thing…. it’s absolutely stunning though to be fair and only 30 minutes from my house so i can pop between the two places easily haha….. the best thing about the location? “Are we nearly there yet Dad?” …………. “YES” haha, that stumped em 😀

    I think for some reason Leicestershire schools don’t seem to break up the same time as other counties. I hear everyday though about busy parents are running around here there and everywhere. It’s Monday swimming night. Tuesday football practice. Wednesday dancing. Thursday something like tennis or even karate night. I swear all we had was a couple of nights at the youth club.

    Centre parks is a really nice place..forget which i went to as was years ago,but they rip off parents and double/triple the prices when its school holidays.

    @Bandit – your setup (the kids being off now) is the norm.  I come from a family of teachers from multiple areas and they all broke up last Friday.  The general rule is that you break up on a Friday in late July but still allowing a full week of July for week 1 of the summer holidays.  This means that the date falls in the region of 18th-24th July.

    I’ve certainly never known of schools to be open again in late August.  Following the above July 18th-24th rule, students would be back in school in the region of 2nd-8th September.  Plus, if the teachers had a Baker day / PD day / Inset day on the first day of term, the students would go back a day later, so the 3rd-9th September for the students.  This was the case for me when I was in school and 6th form.
