When are the Easter holidays 2018?

This year Good Friday fell on March 30 and Easter Monday is on April 2 – while the school break is two weeks long.

The celebration for most adults will be a four-day weekend as Good Friday and Easter Monday are also bank holidays.

For those with kids, the school holidays this year start on Thursday, March 29 or Friday, March 30 through to Monday, April 16.

To be 100 per cent sure of your child’s school term times use the Government’s postcode checker.

Normally, the county council sets the holiday dates – although schools sometimes change the weeks.

Academies and private schools are given more autonomy and often have different holiday dates and length to state comprehensives.
