When is October half-term?

[Mo2]

Sorry - seems silly to have to ask, but I'm trying to book a week's holiday in October, and want to avoid school holidays, so when is half term this year (my kids are not at school yet)

I know different places sometimes differ, but are there a couple of weeks that I should definitely avoid?
I'm in Surrey...

It's usually either the week before the clocks go back or the week after.

Hope that's clear (!)

(Clocks go back the last Sunday in October.)

Different LEAs have different holidays but our school breaks up on Thursday 23rd October, 24th is a Teacher Training day and they are off the whole of w/c 27th. Back to school on 3rd November. HTH

Croydon starts the last Monday in October. SB34 should know when Surrey starts.

Mo2 I'm not far from you so prob the same. Dd's pre-school are due to take 27th Oct - 3rd Nov as half term.

My school's half term (in Doncaster) is the very last week in October, starting back at the beginning of November. Best be anyway as I have booked a holiday for then

In Kent it's the same 27 October & back on 3 November

Derbyshire - last day of school is 17 October then off for one week, back to school 27/10.

Lucky you, Sue - you get the longer days for outings!

Lancs is the same as all the others here - w/c 27th.

Hampshire - last week in October, beginning of first week of November

I'm in Essex and our half term is the last complete week in October. Going back to school on the 27th. Aim for the beginning Mo2 it sounds pretty safe.

Cumbria last week in October
