Just curious really as ours is a week later than usual this year (not that it matters).
We're in Staffordshire and it's the week beginning Monday 29th October.
I know it varies depending on where in the country you are.

Gloucestershire and we are the week before you.

rebelworld · 04/10/2018 09:39

Week beginning Monday 29th October here.

DeanImpala67 · 04/10/2018 09:41

South Gloucestershire and we're the week beginning the 29th too.

Walkerbean16 · 04/10/2018 09:41

same as you, this term is 8 weeks long and I am so tired already! (I work in a preschool and am 7 months pg)

ShalomJackie · 04/10/2018 09:42

19th October to 29th October (2 weeks and 2 days for us - Cambridgeshire)

Fatted · 04/10/2018 09:44

Ours is that week as well, but ours have the Friday before as an inset day too.

School doesn't finish for Christmas until the Friday before either and I have a boring week in January after the new year to fill!

TeenTimesTwo · 04/10/2018 09:44

Hants - The week before you, ie the week before Halloween.

gingercat02 · 04/10/2018 09:45

Same as you OP seems quite late but we don't finish for Christmas until 21 December so that's late too

southnownorth · 04/10/2018 09:46

Same as you in Staffordshire as well.

TeeniefaeTroon · 04/10/2018 09:47

I'm in Scotland, our schools get two weeks and our school holidays start tomorrow.

southnownorth · 04/10/2018 09:49

Christmas is a funny one this year as well, break up on the 21st and not back till the 8th Jan, quite late.

W/C 22nd Oct in Manchester.

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 04/10/2018 09:50

We’ve got two weeks, yippee! Beginning 22/10.

Crunchymum · 04/10/2018 09:52

W/c 22nd October for us (London)

BigFatGoalie · 04/10/2018 09:52

We have two weeks too. Off to Perth!

CruCru · 04/10/2018 09:54

We have two weeks from 20 October.

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 04/10/2018 09:55

Big good isn’t it? They’ve done this for a few years now, adding all the inset days together as a whole week. Lots of people use it to go away a bit cheaper than the summer holidays. Though due to GCSE mocks not going away this year, just revising!

reluctantbrit · 04/10/2018 09:55

London borough set is starting the 22nd. But lots of secondary schools are now having two weeks, so off until November 2nd and if they are in a trust with primaries they changed the primary ones as well.

llangennith · 04/10/2018 09:55

29 October, one week, South Wales.

tinytemper66 · 04/10/2018 09:56

Wales and 29th October

DianaPrincessOfThemyscira · 04/10/2018 09:56

W/c 22 October for us, Merseyside. Can’t wait we’re going away!

SoundofSilence · 04/10/2018 09:57

Different to my brother's county, so DS2 has missed out on a joint two day trip to a water park with his cousins Sad

Pascha · 04/10/2018 09:59

Ours is the week before. We are going to Staffordshire for a few days though so it's interesting to hear you are all still at school. Maybe the monkey forest will be quiet.

Willow2017 · 04/10/2018 10:16

Ours start tomorrow but only 1 week. Scotland too.
