When does your school year end?

[bbrown1226]

We are Americans living in Germany, and our kids finish the school year June 12th. I know the German schools don't finish until July. What about everyone else? Thinking maybe a mid-week trip the week of June 15th...

French school holidays start the first week in July (as does my sons school in Scotland). Schools in England break up a week later - 2nd week in July.

Going in June will avoid the school holidays (although there is a possibility you will still get end of year school parties going there).

Bear in mind though that summer events like the fireworks don't start until the 4th of July.

My mum teaches in a boarding school in England and she finishes 3rd July this year.

If you go in June, none of the schol over here will be on holiday.

July 21st at my school, although the Monday and Tuesday are disaggregated days, so the kids finish on Friday 17th - lucky little munchkins.

The official dates for schools in England to finish for the summer is 21st July - most schools save their teacher training days till the end of the year so many break up on the 17th (Friday).

We've booked to go on the 16th, kids break up on the 17th but it's the only time we can go as a family. They have permission to be off for two days, and I'm hoping we can get a few things done before the saturation of the weekend!! Seeing as it'll only take two hours to get there, we can make the most of the first day

Fri 17th July for us too, we should have teacher training day on the following Monday, but both mine and DH's school have already made up the hours after school so we don't have to go in.
