When do your school holidays start?

Hi quick question. If you live in England - particularly the south - when do your school holidays start?

We are off to Centre Parcs Woburn on Friday and I'm hoping it's not too busy. We live in Scotland our school holidays started a couple of weeks ago but due to other members of our group this was the only week we book. I did check a few of the local council websites for holiday dates and it appears most of the schools will be finishing up the week after we go (so around 24th July?). I'm not entirely sure of all the areas though and I think I may have missed out a fair few.

I know it will be relatively busy as some people will take kids out of school early to save money, but I was hoping it would be a little bit quieter than the peak summer holiday season madness.

Seemed to be lots of school aged children around today so assuming independents have broken up here (Manchester) but the school down the road from us (state) breaks up next Wednesday lunchtime as NDNs DC go there

DDs state primary breaks up on the 20th, her friend in private school breaks up on the 14th, her friend in a free school breaks up on the 28th. All south east.

All the state schools around here (South East) seem to finish between 21st and 27th.
I guess the majority of families at CP with you will be Scottish, private schools and pre schoolers.

We're non private, non Scottish (in the east mids) and finish on the 14th
