Well we're back at work today. We've had our two week Easter break. We're ready to start the long slog of the 15 week summer term (!!)
At the same as we go back others are getting ready to do their final week of the spring term, and start their Easter break this Friday. They'll go back to do a much more sensible 12 week summer term.
I have no idea how this came about, as it has always seemed before that schools around the UK generally take their breaks at the same time (just look at the price of holidays - they go up as soon as the countries schools close for summer). However, with the way it's fallen this year there are going to be some red faced holiday companies, and some very happy familes, because the cheap season has fallen IN the holiday for some people. I imagine that next year there will be a 4 week price rise for Easter breaks so that the holiday firms don't let any family slip through!
