When is 'your' half term

[peoplepleaser1]

Considering taking DC to Alton towers next Thursday, I'm wondering if the whole country will be on half term which I'm thinking will increase queue times.

When are your DC on half term?

Next week. I think it’s a pretty standard week because of the bank holiday?

Yes, everywhere tends to have the same week this time because of the bank hol

Also, because of public exams, the May HT tends to be the same for everybody (at least in England and Wales)

Only Scotland has a different break I think, which is either just Monday, or Monday and Tuesday (my DNs are in Scotland, we're in England).

Yeah this one is always standard because of the cam seasons.

Argh! Exam season.

Yeah generally because of gcse /alevel / IB etc spring bank half term ( or whitsun as my dm calls it!) is pretty fixed across England.

Sadly meaning for you the queues could be epic! Hope you have a fun trip if you go op. At least you can have a full day there.

I've got one child off next week and another not off until 14th June!

It's definitely half term here in Staffordshire next week, expect it to be busy.

This term it's country-wide, because of the A level and GCSE exam timetable.

(Perhaps different in Scotland, though a few schools there do A levels)

Thanks everyone. Looks like the queues are likely to be epic 🙈.

Ditto, half term here next week and we are 20 miles from there.

Yes it's half term here next week (North West), I wouldn't go to AT in school holidays if it was the last place on earth!

Break up this Friday for two weeks . No idea why they get two off...
