A Lark Ascending Posted March 29, 2016 Report Posted March 29, 2016 (edited) The fortnight Easter school break always traditionally fell whenever Easter fell in Britain. Murder for teacher planning - one year you might get an even spring and summer term, the next a long spring and short summer. Local authorities started experimenting with this (against much religious opposition) a fair few years back and finally the authority I used to work for fell into line this year, fixing equal term lengths. So schools had Good Friday and Easter Monday off, went back today until Friday and will then break for the two week holiday. The two extra days just get attached to the start or end of the year so no days of schooling are lost. Much better from an educational point of view. You know there will be six weeks leading into the exam period (although the exam boards creep their exams forward every year). The board software clearly had a good Easter - struggling like mad to save posts this morning as it goes through its backup routine. Edited March 29, 2016 by A Lark Ascending Quote
