Just wondered how many other schools broke up last week. We finished on tuesday and go back on the 6th June. Everywhere was quiet and all other kids at school. Not complaining as lovely weather and dd and friends got the whole park almost to themselves.

We don't get half term in Scotland.

I can't believe Scotland don't get half term. It must be awful, do the kids get really tired or do you have shorter terms

Half term for us is the week of the bank holidays which is great as then only 3 days leave needed between the two of us to cover it

Also, Scottish schools get 2 weeks in October when English schools only get 1.

Our schools break up on 31st (non-pupils day on 1st), and are back on 11th.

My sister in laws school have 2 weeks for may half term and encourage parents to use the other for holidays because they'll pay term time prices rather than get ripped off which I think is genius.
