DS is back to 6th form college on 2nd January (Bristol). I'm not sure when the local schools go back (we live in a neighbouring council area).

xyz111 · 01/01/2024 09:09

8th (Kent). Last day was 19th.

DeathMetalMum · 01/01/2024 09:09

Back the 9th.

gano · 01/01/2024 09:11

Back on 9th, as 8th is inset day.

Skyblue92 · 01/01/2024 09:13

we have inset on 8th and 9th so kids back the 10th. My daughter goes back the 9th due to inset on 8th

soundsys · 01/01/2024 09:13

Ours is the 9th 😩 (8th is an INSET day)

Onthe1234 · 01/01/2024 09:14

8th here

oldcrinkle · 01/01/2024 09:16

I set day 8th and back on 9th.

Very badly planned I feel! Feels far too late.

Beezknees · 01/01/2024 09:18

8th. I've booked this week off work, bliss. Would far rather have this week off than pre Christmas, it helps beat the January blues.

flumposie · 01/01/2024 09:19

We finished on 22nd. I'm back on 8th for Inset, my daughter the 9th.

Morethanthis71 · 01/01/2024 09:37

Tomorrow and I think I have the start of flu, I feel awful, but am too embarrassed to not go in and teach my classes so will start lesson planning shortly.

Yes I could have done it over the holidays, but I've been caring for my Dad whose condition has rapidly declined over the past month bless him. So it's been non stop. But I am looking forward to seeing my classes. Plus I have spent time with my own children this holiday, which is unusual, as I usually work. I'm just going to do extra long hours this week to catch up.

SussexLass87 · 01/01/2024 09:38

Tomorrow here. Eurgh.

TeenagersAngst · 01/01/2024 09:38

We finished on 15th and go back on the 9th. Three weeks off.

PumpkinPie2016 · 01/01/2024 09:42

The school I teach at and most of the ones in our area go back on the 8th. We didn't finish until the 22nd.

This is in the Greater Manchester area but I do know neighbouring towns to ours that finished on the 15th an go back tomorrow (2nd) or 3rd.

I'd far rather finish later and have the time after Christmas.

BreatheAndFocus · 01/01/2024 09:45

Busyhedgehog · 01/01/2024 08:57

We're back on the 15th. :) Usually like that because it means we can have a cheaper break somewhere when everyone else is back at school. Not happening this year, though, so just pottering about at home.

That’s great @Busyhedgehog - where are you? I want to move there!

BrutusMcDogface · 01/01/2024 09:45

Tomorrow 😢

Saying that, though, I think I’m ready to get back to routine. Just the small matter of all my planning and trying to tidy up the destruction in the house.

Trusttheprocess1 · 01/01/2024 09:45

Tomorrow…God help us all! I hate that I’m going to have to take the decorations down today. I can’t bear going back into work with it all still up. Feels far too soon!

weebarra · 01/01/2024 09:46

Finished on the 22nd and back on the 9th as 8th is in service for staff.

BrutusMcDogface · 01/01/2024 09:46

Oh and I actually have all uniforms and pe kits ready, which is a win! I know most people get them washed straight away but I’m usually scrabbling around at the end of the hols.

Familiaritybreedscontemptso · 01/01/2024 09:47

2nd 😭 it’s too early!

Notsurehwhattdo · 01/01/2024 09:47

FeebasAquarium · 01/01/2024 08:57

Tomorrow (2nd) and we’re in Hants. No one is very pleased about this

And those of us with children who aren't going back until the 8th aren't pleased either 🤣
