We have an inset day on 24th October and am thinking about going to Legoland but not if it's going to be really busy because everyone else is already on half term. Please let me know.

we break up on 24th, so we would still be in school on that day.

We're in Yorkshire though so unlikely we'd be going to legoland anyway

We break up this Friday so would still be off on 24th - we are in North West though - nowhere near Legoland!

Same as GDG.

Here in Hampshire they break up on the 24th and many schools have an Inset day that day. So Legoland might be busy!

We break up Friday 24th (Yorkshire)

PillockOfTheCommunity · 15/10/2008 21:04

Suffolk here and we're off 27th - 31st but have an inset day on 24th

SmugColditz · 15/10/2008 21:06

We break up on the 17th! Would still be off on the 24th. We are East Midlands

Lucycat · 15/10/2008 21:06

So GDG our local authorities have different half terms again!

we break up next Friday (24th) for a week.

23rd, 24th is staff trianing day

ohnoherewego · 15/10/2008 21:07

Thanks, think you might be right Sidge. Have been twice before but only when everyone else was at school. Are the queues really bad at half term?

Finish on the 24th here in Warwickshire.

RustyBear · 16/10/2008 20:23

I'm in Wokingham, about 8 miles from Legoland & we have the week after, Bracknell & Windsor & Maidenhead (neighbouring boroughs) are the same, but some schools may have inset days the Friday before (Wokingham's inset is the Monday after though)

SueW · 16/10/2008 20:31

We finished yesterday. Go back 27th.

LindzDelirium · 17/10/2008 14:02
