Counting the days off. We've literally made a calendar with days left. It's that bad. Anyone else?

I'm certainly looking forward to it now! (Teacher who leads a core subject in secondary).

We have 4 weeks left and so much going on with reports/end of year trips/transition days/preparing for September/an event with tutor groups etc.
Plus, we will be teaching normal curriculum right to the end as we need to get to a certain point so that we have enough time to cover everything.

We are all shattered now, kids included.

I can’t wait, seriously. My children are exhausted, I’m exhausted. I can’t get over how long the school year is in the UK with barely any time for children to be children.

I'm dreading it. Not enough leave to cover it all. Juggling kids and work. Then my baby goes to high school!!

It's my first proper year of having to do it. Thankfully I've made it add up this year with a lot of begging and shuffling but we've had to sacrifice having a family holiday to do so. The cost of putting a three year old into term time only pre school makes financial sense but then creates the holiday issues when he isn't old enough for school holiday clubs. Thank goodness he starts school next September so they can both go to clubs.

I don't know how full time working parents do it.

Yep. Sick of the SLT denial of poor behaviour. Loads of pieces of information on how to.improve our teaching. No.reference to the loud minority of disruptive pupils spoiling it for everyone.
