AIBU to take DC to theme park on an inset day?

[BettyFlour]

My kids have got an inset day on the Tuesday after Easter Monday and I was wondering if this was common.

I'm thinking of taking DCs somewhere like a theme park but maybe everyone has an inset day on 22 April?

dc not back until Wednesday and in some areas school holidays only started last Friday for 2 weeks.

Aha! Thanks for letting me know. Theme parks probably still heaving then!

Thanks Liz!

Yep we have inset on Tuesday too.

I'm so glad I asked!! Thank you!

Most of the schools here also have an inset day that day too.

None of the schools near me have an inset on that day.

We're back at school on the Tuesday but we have often gone to theme parks on our inservice days or election days.

I'm slightly obsessed by theme parks. I have an annual pass.

I make an effort to go on Bank Holiday Mondays as I find them quiet.

I think everyone thinks heaving and avoids them, the Sunday of a bank holiday is hell on earth however.

Even the private schools here have an inset day that day.

Some schools just got hols in Fri, so they will be still off too.

That is the second week of our Easter holidays...Easter holidays vary (more so than other school holidays) quite a bit.

Might depend on which one really. Here in Surrey, primaries are generally back at school on Tuesday. So Chessington might not be too bad.

My kids go to school in Richmond borough school & I work at a different school same borough.
They are at school but my work has inset.

Chessington is our nearest theme park

If you're thinking of Alton Towers, Staffordshire schools broke up last Thursday so it will still be school hols next week.

Inset days are the best days to go. As my 2dc are in diffrent schools I can't do it.

WE are back on the Tuesday :grin:

Schools here go back on the 22nd April,

No In service days here.

We have one on 22 May as the school is a polling station, we intend to go to flamingo land. Thought it may be a bit quieter than weekends

We have an inset day, senior school only, on that day

Schools in Leicestershire only broke up on Friday, so they don't go back until Monday 28th.

West Midlands here and that will be the second week of our Easter holidays.

If you are aiming for anything midland bound I wouldn't bother - schools here are off until the 28th!

No INSET attached to Easter hols here.

However - we only started Easter holidays this week and have another week to go So may not be as quiet as you would wish.
