We've been off this week - East Midlands.

RenegadeKeeblerElf · 21/10/2022 15:08

Officially next week but the school have put all the inset days together to create a two week half term so they finish today and are back on 7th November 😁

Our school is an anomaly in that we get two additional weeks of holiday in exchange for longer school days so we are off this week and next. All other schools in the area (NE) are off next week.

We're on a two week half term in October now, this is the end of week one. Some fab holiday deals around but this will probably disappear if it becomes more mainstream which it seems to be. We've just had four nights in a three bed caravan for £190, it's £890 next week.

We don't have longer school days, the teachers do inset as twilight and we go back a couple
Of days earlier in the summer.

Mine has just started DS is home

@AriettyHomily we’re on our way back from Bluestone in Wales and it was a fraction of the price compared to next week. Our other week is tagged on to the front off the summer holidays so we can take advantage of early summer hols.

The idea behind it is so the kids have 6 x 1 hour lessons a day and could therefore fit in an extra GCSE.

WeeblesWibbleWobble · 21/10/2022 15:56

Break up today. Until 31st

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 21/10/2022 16:14

Week starting 24th. London borough.

That's a great idea 💡

A week and 2 days plus 3 inset days means we've just got to the end of week 1 and about to start week 2. Our school has done it like this for years and it's great!

FatAgainItsLettuceTime · 22/10/2022 00:27

We've had ours this week in East kids. Back to school Monday.
