Our children break up on the17th July and they are off of 6 weeks.
Last year we had 5 week off and then had September break, so I am presuming that because we are back to 6 weeks we won't be having September break.

Deb our kids started holidays June 27th....they are off until Sept. So 8 weeks or so of holidays... My oldest is at cadet camp for 6 weeks, my middle for 2 weeks at cadet camp and my youngest is at a variety of camps through the summer. She has already done a sleepover camp for a week...next week she goes to soccer camp. She also has karate camp, a day camp based on being green, a church VBS and then 2 weeks of holidays with family.
I have almost 3 weeks off this summer. I have family coming for 1 week so that will be fun and 1 week we are not sure what we will do....the other days are split up into long weekends when we will attend grads from cadet camp and a sunset ceremony.....
A busy time for sure
hugs debbie

My children finished school for the year on June 17. They will go back on Sept. 8 or 10 (my older son is in a different school with a later start date). We get a 10-day (or so) break at Christmas and a week at Easter.
The schools are crazy here we were out May 29th will go back August 24. They have almost 2 weeks over Christmas and a week the first of April.
Do you have a lot of short breaks in the UK or is your school year just that much longer than here in the USA since you only have 6 weeks at summer instead of the 10 that we get?
Wow 8-10 weeks off, Ours are fed up after 3 and struggle with 6, how do you manage 8-10 weeks?
We start the year beginning sept and go through till Mid October and have a week off.
Then we go through to Christmas and have 2 weeks off.
Round Valentines we get a week off
Then Easter it is 2 weeks
June it is 1 weeks
Then 6 week summer
In between we have Occasional Days – 30th October 2009, 18/19th February, 7th June 2010.
Training Days – 2nd September (Priorities), 23rd October (Target Setting) 8th June (Reports), 9th June (Priorities), 16th July (Transition)
There are 8 bank holiday dates as well, but some are incorporated into some of the holidays

It makes for a long summer that is for sure. The kids lose so much too from lack of use.
We don't get a week in between the 9 weeks of classes before the next quarter UNLESS you happen to live in a school district that operates in the year round catagory.
wow !!!! i cant beleive how long some of your summer holidays are..my kids get 6 weeks and thats too long for them ..they would never cope with 8-10 week..and neither would i !! lol
